[DEAD]Walmart In-Store Specials - 11/8/08 only-YMMV

Picked up a laptop at a store in DeSoto, TX. They had 40 laptops, but 100+ people wanting them! No tickets passed out -- just stand in line until 8:00, then they handed them out 1 at a time and didn't hand out the next one until that one was paid for. A VERY slow process! Lucky I was #10 in...

For most of America, these are GREAT deals! The vast majority of pc users are not gamers, and these systems are perfect for them. I have built pc's in the past, but have no desire or time to do so now. Besides, as someone else has said, once you build one for a friend, you are their tech...

Soyo 20.1" LCD $136AC

The bottom of the flyer offers an additional 20% off on clearance technology. There is a bubble on the top of the flyer that offers "20% off on all technology -- excluding HP, software, hard drives and computers". I had no trouble getting the 20% off on this monitor.

What am I missing? I don't find the instructions for "activating" the software. All I get are 60 minute trials. Is that all there is? Never mind -- found it! The zip file includes an "activation" file. Just clicked and ran it and the full version, without expiration, was available.

Walmart in Cedar Hill, Tx -- Picked up a Panasonic Lumix LZ2 Digital Camera with 5 megapixels, 6X Optical Zoom, and Mega Image Stabilizer for $120. Reviews say it's a really decent camera. First few shots out of the box were awesome. Not bad for 6X Optical.
