So yeah, do you remember hearing about crazy fools fighting at Wal-Marts at 5:00 am on Nov. 26th? Well, Brooke and I joined in the fun… We saw that Wal-Mart had a cheap-o laptop for sale at just under $500 in the ad on Thanksgiving day…didn’t think much of it… Well, then I went by Slickdeals.net and saw that the deal was actually $378…which is insane for a laptop that has a decent AMD processor in it, a burner and wireless networking… Brooke is getting to the point where she needs a different computer (since her HP is 5 years old and a 1 GHz desktop will only do so much with WinXP installed…), so we decided to make the attempt…
Well, we got there at 4:50 am…and the parking lot was pretty full. We walked inside and everyone was back at the electronics department in a line…like…40-50 people in each of two lines. One line was for the laptop…the other was for a $50 GameBoy Advance… We come to find out that they only had 18 of the laptops. We didn’t get one. We were back in bed and sleeping by 5:30… š
Anyway, the weekend overall was pretty good. Got to visit with both sides of the family and got to see friends in Columbia, so that was really good…hadn’t seen Jeff or Jason in about a year (not my fault… :-P), so good times were had.
Now, I just have to get back in the “finish this semester before your head explodes” mentality…
Andy, use your computer connections to find me an xbox 360 for sale. I need one more than life.
I’ll work on getting you a Nintendo Revolution instead…’cause they’re way better… š
hey did you talk to a sales person (cause I’m sure the weren’t busy on nov 26 haha)? Sometimes stores can order them from warehouse for the sale price. I did that at circuit city with a deal on my laptop because they were out, and I still got the sale price. I had to wait a week or so extra, but still got the cheapo price.
