Forgot to mention....there was a piece of paper in the box that said :

We are currently out of stock of the 850 so we have substituted the 950 in its place. Another friend of mine has said the same about his. EVEN BETTER BUY!!!

Electronic wise black Friday was just that in the black but our friendly forgotten Radioshack had a great deal on a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse set for $19.99 orig. $50. Best part about it was no mad rush lines no angry mobs and it was 5:45pm. Other then that buy 1 get 1 free webkinz will put a smile on my daughters face this Christmas as it did mine on black Friday ha ha.

Black Friday? For those who are lucky enough to be living in States bordering our northern neighbor, Black Friday can be had on any given day. It wasn't long ago that our dollars were at par, and Canadian retailers were forced to drop their MSRP in order to compete.

Take a short trip north and experience 20% off of all your heart can desire strictly based on the current strength of the US Greenback.

I actually shopped online and found some great deals, (or at least I thought so)

I snagged a 2 GB SD card, 2 GB microSD card, and a 4 GB SDHC card all for 3 dollars each on Amazon. Of course shipping pushed the total to 25 dollars, but I was still happy!

I also bought a Sandisk Fuze 8GB at Costco for $60! And an Olympus FE-370 for $120, also at Costco. Thank goodness for coupons, the Fuze was priced at $99 and the Olympus was priced at $150.

People who actually go to stores at 3AM to buy so called "bargains" obviously haven't harnessed the power of the Internet yet.

This year's deals were kind of weak as everyone has said. I saw some good deals on Amazon, but they always have good deals. As a matter of fact, a lot of those same "deals" have been on sale all week. The only item I actually picked up in the stores was the Simpson's XBOX 360 game at best buy. Only $9.99........hard to pass that one up!

With eye to the future, try raw photos today

Raw photos are a hassle compared to JPEG. But if you like photography, the list of their image quality advantages is long and getting longer.

Inside the Apple, er, Microsoft Store

Although Redmond's foray into retail bears a big resemblance to Apple's approach, Microsoft has added some distinctive features to draw casual PC buyers and techies alike.
