CompUSA Geek Meet Fri. 3/19

[Dean]

CompUSA is having one of there 6 hour sales Friday 6PM-midnight.

I think this is their 20th anniversary or something.

Flyer should be in Friday's paper, or on the web. Usually some good deals on something.

Usually a little bit of a line starting right around 4:30-5:00.

Hang out, Eat Taco Bell, Wendy's...

Takers?

[ArthurS]

I do need some new stuff...like a extra 256 of ram...I am down

[MikeSTI]

i need a hard drive :D

[LetItRev]

I'm a bit of a technology geek and can always use more stuff. Someone post when they know what might be offered.

[Dean]

Here is the link to the Adds 2 pages I think...

Anything on Page 2 actually is on sale all day, so if it is a good deal, you may want to go in the AM..

[Dean]

And I lied. It was in Thursday's paper, not today's. I missed it when I looked yesterday. Most of the stuff on the front page looks like pretty good deals.

[MikeSTI]

I like the 160gig hard drive but I really dont think I need that much space on a kids comp :lol:

Don't worry, they'll be filling it up with pron before you know it.... kids grow up fast these days! :lol:

[MikeSTI]

well when you think of it that way...........Games these days can take up to and beyond 3 gigs so it might be the way to go :shock:

not to mention it might teach them a leason about going to those websites <porn> that when the hard drive goes down again you lose a lot of loading time :lol:

but hopefully that stuff will be gross to them for atleast 7 more years 8)

[Dean]

That notebook really is a killer deal. 15" TFT, DVD CD-RW for under $700. And as long as you aren't a hard core gammer, that desktop rocks as well for $300. And the 8X burner is really good since it is $100 out the door and $20 rebate. I think my 4x 4a $120 out the door, and $40 rebate 2 months ago.

Don't know much about the camera, but for $150 giv it to the kids and let them go wild...

[MikeSTI]

lots of good stuff what time? do we want to meet somewhere?

[MikeSTI]

:lol: :lol: as I look up!!!! :lol:

[ArthurS]

In, what time does everyone want to meet? At least I'll try if I don't work late.

[MikeSTI]

I need to pick up a hard drive so I need to go.....thinking about getting there around 5:00ish I'm sure the lines will be long anytime after 4:30 so just grab what you need and we can hang out in line :?

[Dean]

lots of good stuff what time? do we want to meet somewhere?I plan on leaving the office at 4:30. Anybody real hot for the notebook, or PC should probably get there at 4:30 or so.

it is hard to tell. for all I know, there may already be a line a 3PM. But last ime I di this, I was #1 or 2 at 4:30 as I recall.

How bad do you want it? We are not going to be able to let a ton of people cut without getting people pissy, so I would suggest anyone wanting cuts be there by 5.

I have 4 or 5 folding chairs in my car, but bring your own if you want. I'll set mine up when I get there to save spots.

[MikeSTI]

:lol: I'm in for Taco Bell, its in that same parking lot right?

[Dean]

:lol: I'm in for Taco Bell, its in that same parking lot right?Yep, and Wendy's is just accross the street. And then their is Home Depot for Camera mounts... :D

[ArthurS]

Yarg....I won't be able to make it. Next time I guess.

[MikeSTI]

Yarg....I won't be able to make it. Next time I guess.u's a work-o-holic..........and all you do is sale insurance? I hope its worth it because your be missing out on a great oppertunity to place some window flyer's.........hmmmmm maybe you can make it after all!!! 8)

I really would go...but a apoontment for 5:30 called in. So I won't be out till about 6. The home show is coming up, that's my big flyer handing out event. We are going to have a booth also.

[Dean]

I hope its worth it because your be missing out on a great oppertunity to place some window flyer's.........hmmmmm maybe you can make it after all!!! 8)He's posing for his next captive audience theatre ad. He's a big shot now, flyers are for woosies... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Dean]

So Art is a flake, that leaves Mike, and Franz I think. Anybody else?

[ArthurS]

I could make it later, but then you guys would have bought all the good stuff.

PS - Theater ad has done nothing business wise, just helps with the name recognition...I don't know if its worth it at 4,500$ a year. Might be taking it down soon.

[MikeSTI]

Art we have to stay till 6:00pm before the sale so if you want just call me to see if where still there or if theres anything to be had left on the shelf

[ArthurS]

K...will do

[JoelK]

BTW, it looks like some of this is already available online. The 160GB hard drive, DVD writer, DVD+RW media, and USB flash drive are all listed for online ordering. I could use a hard drive (kinda -- you'd think 320GB of space would be enough as it is) and I wouldn't mind having a USB flash drive, but I'm still pondering.

[LetItRev]

Not sure if I'll make in time either. I was looking for a smokin' deal on a USB external Hard Drive. Other than that, I'll just spend money for the sake of spending money! :shock:

You may see me there Dean.
