    ****Free Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny's - 2/3/2009****

    Yeah, we stopped by at 7:30am and it was a madhouse. We just drove up the street to a real greasy spoon diner and paid $4 for 3 eggs, 1/2lb of homefries, toast, coffee, juice, and 1/2 a muffin while we waited for our food. ;)

    APC BE325R UPS $14.99 @ Circuit City--No Rebates

    Received one of mine today and I'm happy with it for $14.99. Only thing to note is that it was inspected back in Feb '07 so that makes the battery 19 months old(at least). Hopefully the lack of charge didn't kill it. Thanks again OP... just wish they weren't OOS 'cause I could use two more...

    Website Allows Users to Prepay for Gas, Lock in Price

    The local heating oil company that we had our contract with three years ago up and decided they weren't going to honor our locked in price anymore. They sent some BS about how unlocking the price would better our chances for saving money in the long run... :( Absolute BS, they were loosing...

    FREE Rand McNally Road Atlas W/ DHL Survey

    Awesome, thanks! I wonder if the lack of thanks is any indication of how many people actually use those GPS systems now instead of a good ol' atlas. I find using Mapquest and an atlas to work real well. Never have liked those "auto" systems. "Tom, Tom... I'm too old to talk to you, can you...

    Merrill Lynch to Virtualize 50% of Desktops Within 5 Years

    I wonder how many IT people actually try to use the "client" after they set it up? I install data circuits for the local telco and that's the biggest complaint I hear from the people using these virtual computers... "looks good when they come down and install it, but after a week or so you...

    Intel Unveils 10 Gigabit NIC at Interop

    Yeppers... gigE is much faster than my server can cope with. Although, it is a nice step up from 100mbps.

    $10 Off Lowes Purchase

    If the person says the coupon has already been used by someone else, just tell him to check with the manager because you just printed it out today so you don't understand how it could have already been used... I had this happen and the manager instantly says to just "do a manual". ;)

    AMD Opteron 180(socket 939) RETAIL - $124.99 FS no rebates!!!

    Another 939/DDR1 fan here. :D When you have four 939 rigs for the family, it's hard to justify "upgrading" to AM2/DDR2. If all mine weren't dual core already, I'd be in for one of these... great deal imho.

    Windows Feedback Program - Free Vista/Office 2007 - UPDATE!!!

    Even though at one point my father in-law received an email saying had missed the cutoff time/date AND that Microsoft never received any of his computer's information... he still will be getting Vista in "4 to 6 weeks". Gotta love Microsoft! :cool:

    Windows Feedback Program - Free Vista/Office 2007 - UPDATE!!!

    Oh this is funny now. As previously noted in this thread, my father in-law had not received any email from M$ up until a few weeks ago. I emailed them for him to make sure he was setup and they said that he missed the cutoff and on top of that they were not receiving any data from him. They...

    Windows Feedback Program - Free Vista/Office 2007 - UPDATE!!!

    Hmmm... Microsoft replied and said my father in-law didn't sign up in time? :confused: The email confirmation they sent him was received at 1:04PM EDT on 12/11/07. I thought the cutoff time was 2:00PM PST on 12/11/07? I'll email them with a copy of his original email next time I'm over there...

    Windows Feedback Program - Free Vista/Office 2007 - UPDATE!!!

    Has anybody else not received any email? My father in-law has been running the program since the end of November/early December and he hasn't received any email(good or bad). Just curious if there are others or if I should write Microsoft for him?

    NY Wants Online Sales Tax

    Thank God for Lockheed Martin and BAE being located in our area. Otherwise I shudder to think what things would be like here. NY really needs to lower taxes and get the economy going again. The idiotic "Empire Zone" program is a farce. It also doesn't help that we have the 2nd highest...
