Let's remember this, and I don't want to hear any whining if they cancel the orders!

I'm still going to whine to my CC company if they just ate my order and did not even bother to send at least one

If I don't receive my mice, I'm not going to loose any sleep!

And if you do get them, you can count them to help you go to sleep.

LOL. :moon:

If everyone buys 50, maybe KompUSSR be convinced of the traffic they would get with a decent deal.

 

[gunblade]

hah nice deal , order one!
yeah only one that is all I need.

 

[Pardus]

why is everyone ordering these mice, they look like crap to me, old style track ball, compusa can keep them

 

[Parasitic]

Wait, is CompUSA allowed to charge more than what we authorized (basically the amount we ordered the stuff)? I don't want them blowing up my order to a $200 bill.

the chance is close to zero

I ordered 50, and I assume that I will hear something from them saying that it was supposed to be a "limit one per customer" kind of deal, and that I will only receive one. But what the hell do I care? I have no need for 50 of these; I don't even want one of them. If by some miracle I actually receive 50 of these mice, I'll just give them away on campus or something. The only thing that would irritate me is if they refuse to send me even one of these mice. But since I don't want one anyway, it hardly matters. They deserve the hassle for having such a crappy sale.

Ummm...actually, they are optical.

And because they cost a penny, dude.

 

[causality]

How is everyone getting penny shipping!? I see the penny shipping advertisement but ground freight is still 5 dollars... Hmmmm.

 

[sworshs]

The site is getting hammer! I can't barely checkout with keep hitting the reload key!

LOL

 

[causality]

Interesting.. I had added a dvd-rw for 6 dollars and for some reason it made shipping 6 dollars. So i got rid of it and now shipping is 10 cents! LOL i guess they dont want to sell me anything BUT mice!

*Orders 10 mice*

 

[causality]

Must have been a bug, got mine to order. Ordered one with a dvd-rw. Maybe they will ship singles that are ordered with something else. I HIGHLY doubt they will ship my order for 10... But we will see!

I'll be popular at school handing out mini usb optical mice!

 

[curlykicker]

Ordered 15. Looks like I got my Christmas shopping done early this year!

 

[pepsimanz]

Got 5, I might really need them to replace all my non-optical mouse in the house. I think it's still a good deal if they give us at least one.

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't honor at least one, they advertised it as FAR, and mice are common to be FAR at other places, but maybe just not free after IR.

 

[helyes]

If any of you are gamers, the PS2 controllers are on sale for $18.99. That's a really good price, considering most places have them for $25

I believe you mean 99 mice.

Wrong. If were the animal mouse, then it would be mice. However, the plural form of a computer mouse is, in fact, mouses. Believe it or not, its true.

 

[MegaNerd]

I was going to order some CD-Rs (5 for $0.99) then I got this crap:

"Sorry for the inconvenience. Our stockers are currently busy refreshing our virtual shelves with more exciting product for your shopping convenience. Check back with us in approximately 30 minutes for new hot deals and a fresh selection of great products. "

If I wanted crap, I'd be watching my Family Guy DVDs! ("Bobby, I just had this horrible dream....")

That seems to be of some debate...

http://www.linguistlist.org/~ask-ling/archive-most-recent/msg09992.html

Yes; the plural of '(computer) mouse' is now established as 'mice'. But,
when these gadgets first appeared, there was uncertainty, and both 'mice'
and 'mouses' were used for a while, before 'mice' won out.

You are right, though, that 'mice' seems odd. The person who has worked on
formations of this kind is the psycholinguist Steven Pinker. Pinker has
drawn attention the observation that irregular forms often become
regularized when they undergo certain kinds of shifts. For example, the
verb 'fly' has past tense 'flew', but the verb has given rise in baseball
terminology to a noun 'fly' (as in 'He hit a fly to left field'), and this
noun has in turn given rise to a new verb 'fly', which is regular: 'He
flied out to left field', not *'He flew out to left field'.

I regret that I can't provide the reference to Pinker's paper. I've
recently moved office, and that paper is in a pile that I haven't sorted
yet.

All I said is that some debate that... I could care less either way.

But it would be more interesting that the CompUSA "sale" regardless.

is this over now?
