Alert- MBNA Scam!

Are you sure this is a scam? Https://www.mbnanetaccess.com *IS* their website, and I've been using it forever. I really can't believe it resolved to someone else's domain somewhere. The only thing that would make sense is if some bad guy had access to the...

LEADTEK WINFAST "DELUXE" TV2000XP TV/FM MULTIMEDIA CARD - RETAIL BOX (UPDATE: NOW $42.00 shipped!) @ Newegg!

So .. regardless of TV card .. what's the best software for TIVO like functions? I built a new computer, so figured I'd use my old PC for a PVR. I've found plenty of PVR/VCR software, but nothing that is .. as intuitive .. as Tivo. You know .. you tell Tivo you like "Mud wrestling" and it...

Help: XP 2100+ .. PC2100 or PC2700?

I haven't put together a new system in a few years, so have a question about CPU and memory speed. I am buying a motherboard that supports a FSB of up to 333 and figure the Athlon 2100 XP is the right price point for me. The 2100 runs at 266 FSB. Here's my question .. What memory to buy...

DEAD(as of 5:30 PM EST): Is this hot? Netgear 814 Wireless Router AND Logitech Quickcam for $29.99 possibly $9.99 AR

This was an awesome deal. I didn't get in on the webcam, but I need to upgrade my old non-802.11 networking. So, for $60-30 rebate-5 coupon=$25, I got the MR814 from Amazon. That's just a smoking deal. I wanted to stick with Netgear for the PCMCIA card, but Amazon had the MA401 for $58...

(Dead - Out of Stock) ** USR 802.11b PCMCIA Wireless card for $3.88 after MIR shipped

Super Saver Shipping can take a REALLY long time. I ordered something on 9/30, and they shipped it on 10/12 and I could track it on USPS. The package arrived on 10/26!!! Heck, it probably cost the Postal Service more to STORE my package for 14 days than it did to SHIP it. Hell, someone...

DEAD:Maxtor 80G 7200rpm drive for 50.00 + tax after MIR and Coupon in Stapes.

Wow .. I ordered yesterday, first it said OOS, then it said "Expected delivery date has changed" and allowed me to order .. gave me a 8 day expected ship date on the email confirmation. Instead, I got home from work and it'd arrived, 18 hours after I placed the order. Cool.

Interesting, I refreshed the Staples screen, and it said the estimated delivery time had changed .. then allowed me to add it to my shopping cart, which I did. End result, an order confirm email that says it should be delivered next Tuesday. Great deal!

TDK 5 pack Mini DV's $14.83 @ target BM

That's a great deal. One note, though. About 8 months ago, someone posted clearance Maxell DV tapes at Target for $1.97 a piece and everyone went wild, including me. I cleared out my Target and scored 15 of them. I can't explain it, but they must "go bad" or something. The first 6-7 of...

I was eager to jump on this deal, but I just can't see how it would work. All the Staples rebates say "No reproductions of the UPC code will be accepted." Sorry, I'll pass.
