Out here in the wildlands of Kentucky, we sometimes still trade furs down on the river banks, I want to applaud the efforts of the two mentioned above for bringing the news here to this poor farmboy.

I have a question which I will ask further down thread...

I was not out and about on Black Friday. So I can't tell what is happening here in the heartland of the US of A and so I have no clue as to what occurred? Did the many run out to buy the latest fads toys? Or did a lot stay home boiling down turnips outen the garden like I did and frying up corn pones and sipping Wild Turkey stead o eating it baked?

Hard to get a read out when one has no TV(thank goodness for that) so I hew onto the net for my news.

'Pears its always bad new on the Roundup.

Thanks for that anyway. Tell it like it is...is my motto.

Thanks again boyz,

airdale

So, who is male and who is female?

It took me ages to realise Leanan was female ... 'though I don't know why ... most of the really efficient people I have come across are female!

Thanks to you all for your amazing efforts, it makes my daily education so much easier.

Xeroid.

Well, I went out because my mother did and she wanted some company. She was trying to get a laptop for herself for $300 from Circuit City. Big laugh, because even though we got there at 4:00AM, an hour before the store opened, we were #126 in line and they had 10 laptops (and seemingly everyone was there for them). Last year, apparently, there were only 15 or so people ahead of them in line. Most of the people in the front of the line got there between 1:00AM and 2:00AM, and the man in front got there at 9:30 the previous evening. It's getting absolutely insane, and I don't think anyone in my family is going to do it anymore.

Usually the specs on the deeply discounted laptops are very poor. You can get some of the best deals HERE all year long. Depending on where you live, no sales tax.

Good company, I buy computer components from them cheaper then from local wholesalers.
