[malata]

Talk about your necro bumps malata...:deadhorse:

I think it was the new Commodore 64.

I took a wrong turn.

can't be, Commodore 64 died out before thread inception

interesting though how far we've evolved

Haggling is so last century. The computer buying boom is over and everyone has one. Sales for computer companies has slowed. Your best bet is to shop for the best price. Bugging the guy at Best buy will not get you a discount because the prices are set at the head office. The back to school season is over, so if you can wait the best time to buy is just before Christmas.

True. He can buy refurbished.

Canada Computers may be good in terms of selection and parts, but they are TERRIBLE when it comes to price matching (which they claim to offer). Every excuse under the sun not to price match anybody once you're in the store.

I find NCIX much better in terms of price matching.

He is probably on his second new one since he originally posted on 2/26/2002
