 Toshiba was a good choice according to this laptop performance article
Quote : &;gt; 20.4 percent of failures are due to hardware malfunctions. 10.6 percent are due to drops, spills, or other accidental damage. &;gt; Netbooks have a roughly 20 percent higher failure rate due to hardware malfunctions than standard laptops. The more you pay for your laptop, the less likely it is to fail in general (maybe because you're more careful with it?). &;gt; The most reliable companies? A shocker: Toshiba and Asus, both with below a 16 percent failure rate due to hardware malfunction. &;gt; The least reliable brands? Acer, Gateway, and HP. HP's hardware malfunction rate, the worst in SquareTrade's analysis, is a whopping 25.6 percent. I noticed Best Buy has a netbook for $179 for Black Friday. Limit 1, minimum 10 per store. They'll be gone 15 minutes after store opening.

Walmart has similar prices. Mr. Jawa and I read the ads as sport, although I'm tempted to visit Wally for some King sheet sets for $19. I thinks that's the price. Now if only Office Depot or Staples would have case sales on ink and paper!

Toshiba Direct is having a $299 Black Friday Special from 9a to 10a PST on their web site tomorrow for anyone that's interested. I have no idea what they are offering, but I'm going to check it out. My laptop is 7 1/2 years old. I'm going to miss it, but it's been operating on a wing and a prayer for about six months now.

I drove by a Best Buy at 11:30am this morning and there were already several people camping out. By 9:00pm, half the parking lot was full. Morons

The only times I went out at that ungodly hour to buy Christmas stuff is back when Gameboy just came out and Wally had them very cheap. The things we do to get the highly desired object for the kid. And that $50 GE TV I bought on 6 a.m. Black Friday in 1991 is still working.

Sleeping in and staying warm sounds better. Me and my sister did the early shit 4 or 5 years ago. Not worth the hassle. People are so fucking rude and obnoxious its sickening. Plus the deals are not that great. I will probably go to Toys R Us later today because they have a 2 day sale. Last year I did that and it wasn't crazy and they had everything I wanted to get.

Quote "she_is_so_random": Joeyharmonic, she said that they wouldn't take it back cuz it would cost the company too much money to put it back on their website to sell (since they had sold out). You can always report them to the Better Business Bureau for selling fake merchandise and you can also harsh on them on all the rating sites. If you're the crusading type, you could try your local TV news to see if they want to run the story, this is the right time of year for shopping horror stories. You probably weren't talking to a VP: customer service drones usually just hand you to one of their friends when you ask for a Supervisor. No way am I going out shopping today (it's raining!), this site rocks for finding on-line bargains: http://dealnews.com/
