do tell.... In my experience there's always someone out there that has had a bad experience with the product you want to buy. Hell, when I bought my Acer laptop at Staples the sales drone tried hard to talk me out of it, calling Acer crap, etc.
That looks close to mine except I held out for the dedicated video memory (256MB too). I think it's worth it. Mine also came with a BluRay player which seemed cool at the time although I haven't used it.
My advice is to set a price point you are comfortable with and wait until you see something at that price with the specs you like. I think $799 is a reasonable sweet spot. I bought mine back in May so it's probably already date by now but no regrets.
I signed up to the mailing list so as to avoid any shenanigans at the door. Doesn't stop me from putting the e-mail address it comes from in my spam filter. Wonder if I can get an "I don't want to be on your mailing list" t-shirt made for Saturday.
Because not everyone owns an iPod. Creative Labs are starting to add SD card slots to their mp3 players.
I'm sure Apple will eventually catch up and claim to be innovators.
Wow. Check out the level of nerdiness that Eugene stoops to. I think I hate him. [color:purple]Anyway, I have my tickets in hand. Are they going to be checking ticket numbers against e-mail addresses at the door?
