re: Graphics cards at BB Black Friday
In years past they have never had anything that significant, and even the warm deals were usually quite limited in stock ... 10 per store, for example. Definitely not worth waiting in line for.
re: Wireless networking gear
It's hard to beat Linksys these days. Since Cisco bought them they have gone from a mainly low cost company to a higher end one, but the "open" support out there for Linksys gear makes up for the cost increase. Solid hardware, very good performance. I use the WRT54GS Wireless G w/SpeedBooster router coupled with the Speedbooster notebook and desktop PCI cards. Got them at Amazon, $62 after $10 MIR for the router, $38 each after $10MIR for the cards. Last I looked though, they had raised the prices a bit. The router is still a good deal there at $70 after MIR, shipped free.
