What happened to all the FAR stuff OM used to have in their add Every Week? Haven't seen anything in a while.

Also, where's the USB hub? Didn't see it in there...

 

[baclips6]

also what happened to the subs?

I found it on page 4, below "D-Link Wireless" section.
Here is the link to the corresponding page of OM specials in Central NJ:

Due to Officemax.com cookie issues, better to link directly to the advertisement image.

Corrected link

Is that hub USB 2.0? Can't tell.

 

[Kelemvor]

Must be regional. That page doesn't show up in the Wisconsin ad I viewed. But from that picture I can't tell if it says USB 1.1 compliant or USB 2 compliant.

Ah well.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Yeah, more FAR jewel cases. This time, for DVD storage.

 

[oslama]

it is 1.1 usb compliant

 

[rainypickles]

there is also the hp deskjet 5850 for $99 AR. i have it; it is a decent inkjet printer. the selling point is that it is ethernet ready and wireless ready. i set it up in 15 minutes without any cables other than the power cable. wireless printing works great and quality is good. print servers run at least $50, so this is a cheap networkable alternative for the kids maybe.

MicroAdvantage are rebadged BTC drives. use the VISA $10 off $75 in-store OM coupon to get it for $29.99.
BTY: In some areas it's selling for $49.99 instead of $39.99, so ask the store to PM the web site price of $39.99.

So would that make this a good recorder? i personally have never heard of BTC. Where is this drive made? and how compatible will it be with recording media...lets say Memorex brand +RW?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I think Memorex's are rebadged similar quality drives. I have a 1004IM in an external enclosure, it's really not remarkable in any way (positive or negative)...JUST UPDATE THE FIRMWARE IMMEDIATELY. I have an NEC 2500A that's a bit better, but I paid a bit more for it ($85+shipping vs. $37.50AR)

The DVD on sale in my area is a Khypermedia for $49.99, not the Microadvantage.

Based on my experience with CD-R drives, I would prefer Khypermedia brand, actually...

Just a heads up about the 5850. If you wanna get the printer through a B&M source, Staples has it for $99 out the door. There is also a $50 rebate available if you purchased the 5850 and certain D-Link, Netgear or Belkin accessories between July 15th and September 15th, 2004 (the purchase of the printer and the wireless accessory doesn't need to be on the same receipt).

[Demon-Xanth]

The Microadvantage drive is available online for $90 before $50 rebate. And is reported to be a BTC 1008IM. The Khypermedia is likely to be a Cyperdrive, and possibly a BenQ.

The Kypermedia is a BenQ if made in malaysia and Cyberdrive if made in China. Look as the side of the box.

PS: I think the BenQ is better but that is my humble opinion.
