I am going with my son and my niece so we can take potty breaks. I called a friend who worked at BB last bf and she said that they had food vendors and a port-a-potty in the parking lot..sounds pretty comfy to me. I want to make sure that I get the things I want I have been saving for bf for 4 months.

That does sound comfy!! As long as it is not cold or wet outside I'm good to go. I hope that BB really does give out tickets in an organized way cause I really don't feel like fighting this year. I already know what to expect from WM :yuck: !

I know everyone is all excited about the emachine. I went last year to BB for the emachine they had for around the same price and they only had 10 in the store. What our Best Buy did was give the first 10 customers at the ddoor before opening a card with a number and they were the only people allowed to purchase the computer. So I wasted hours at BB for nothing. There was almost a swarm of people ready to fight and arguements were breaking out all over the parking lot. It was complete chaos! I left, so I don't know what the events were after that, but I heard the police were called in to escort people from the store.

Just stand in line and act like you are seperate. (okay that doesnt make much sense)

 

When they hand out the tickets, everyone of you who wants one should just pipe up and say yes. If they ask you if you are in the same household/live together, just lie and say no, I doubt they will care enough to ask to see your ID.

They don't ask for ID and last year I don't believe they even asked if you were in the same household. They gave tickets to the first 10 people who said they were interested in the computer and that was it.

Last year at the Best Buy on Frisco, Texas they came out 3 hours before 4am and they did check everyones ID before they got a ticket. I would not put it past them if they did this year.

I'm not sure how much they've improved, but my first computer in college (that was almost 8 years ago now) was an eMachines, and it was terrible. It crashed at every opportunity it had, had terrible software, outdated drivers, and needed to have its cache cleared at least once a week in order to operate. My sister-in-law had one as well and had similar problems about 2 years ago. Mine was bought at CC and her's was at BB

I have been using emachines for about 4 years now (all of them are from BF) and I have had no problems with any of them. Ever since Gateway took them over I think they are better computers and they are perfect for everyday use.

I also have an emachines and it works perfectly fine. I've had it for almost 2 years now and I haven't had a problem yet.:D

I'm going to agree w/ that. And I think that I'm also going to add this emachine desktop to my black friday shopping list. Thinking about using it as a platform for a htpc. Does anyone have any more detailed specs on this until? Free PCI, PCIx, RAM slots... Memory frequency... etc? I thinking of adding in a tv tuner card some RAM and another HDD and recording some television ! :rwb:
