Anyone needing a new computer
I just got an e-mail from TigerDirect.com where I bought one of my computers. They have a 48 hour sale on an Acer laptop for $399...no rebates. I
thought I'd post this in case anyone is in need of a new comp.

My bank account willnot agree with me but I think when the time comes for a new computer I may get a MAC. I have to look into it more but thats the
way its looking.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

that's a great deal, but i'd be concerned about the specs being able to really support vista.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I agree but they'll at least give you another 512mb for $24. Still a great deal on something the average person would be happy with.
also, the next computer I buy will also be a Mac.

tiger direct is know for some CHEAP prices.
it kinda sucks too, cause for what i do, i really should have a new pc for testing purposes, but i just can't bring myself to buy one right now. too
many vista variations and concern over whether a low-end machine ($500) would really run well.
apple's new 'choose a vista' ad is perfect:

Premium. $850.00
Linksys - 802.11g Wireless Router WRT54G
Up to 54 Mbps transfer rates with Wireless-G (54g); 2.4GHz wireless frequency (802.11g- and 802.11b-compliant); cable/DSL Internet sharing $49.99

good deals, dak.
juan, if you're looking ask about hardware that has 802.11n - it's the next version of wireless. it's faster and it's a little more future-proof.
the final specs haven't been released, but almost everyone has "draft 802.11n" hardware now, meaning their equipment is based on the almost-finalized
spec.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I have this same router now. Works way better than the Netgear thing I had before.

I just built a new computer about 2 weeks ago. not counting monitor and keyboard and such I spent about $1300. And now I'm a broke ass white boy. Oh
well at least I got a cool computer out of it.
Is anyone else running vista? If so what do you think so far?
