winston9t4, thanks, this was an awesome deal for me...
I called my local Staples to verify stock, asked them to put my name on it, drove over to pick it up; not in stock & the guy had put my note on a Compaq 910US ($779 on clearance XP 1500, 14.1 TFT, 30GB HD, 256mb, DVD/CDRW).
Manager felt bad & offered it to me @ $650 & took a $30 off $150 coupon.
The $250 in rebates printed up @ the register... WOOT
Deal of the month
I was getting ready to find some images for eBay, & wife called & talked me into keeping it
