To hell with those...a 1GB USB 2.0 memory key for 99 bucks AR?!?!?!

(79 for me because of a 20 dollar Teacher Rewards cert). I wanted an 80x version, but for this price I think I'll cope.

EDIT: DAMMIT. How does "1 Business Day" somehow turn into "Out of Stock?"

Additionally, their Titanium 512MB with lauded write/read times of 13 and 15MB/sec respectively isn't bad - and the capless design is nice...too bad THAT one is in stock and the 1GB isn't.

 

[Keltron]

what is teacher reward, and how do you get it ?

 

[Kipper]

Discount for teachers, probably. A lot of the office supply stores have them. To get them you need to be a teacher...

 

[Diz2K2]

How's the Teon media? Anyone ever use this brand?

 

[Slaimus]

The last time they had the sale, all the Teon media were CMC (some were Philips, but made by CMC).

Damn 1GB Cruzer out of stock using Los Angeles area zip code. That is one sweet price for such a small stick. I was looking for something like this a few days ago!

Check out the buy.com sale going on right now on memory/storage... they've got an 80x 1GB for $80 no rebate (if memory serves).

I'm not seeing it - their price is 205 and the only "rebate" available is money off @ oFoto.com.

Is that Pacific Digital DVD drive a rebadged LiteOn ...or perhaps a NEC 2500A?

 

[xxichibanxx]

that's all a gamble on what you can get w/ an 8x Pacific Digital. it can be an 851s, 811s, 2500a, or an Optorite. most of the ones i've seen when they had them at OM were 811s. i didn't see any 2500a. you can tell by the serial number on the box. i'd say it's only worth it if you get an 851s or a 2500a, those 2 you can upgrade to dual layer. the 811 can't. i prefer LiteOn also over the NEC b/c the LiteOn can support automatic bitsetting.

 

[fornax]

If the serial number starts with 41 it's a NEC 2500A, anything between 42 and 48 is a Lite-on (811,812,851,black or beige). Avoid boxes with serial numbers starting with a letter (those are BTC).

 

[Thump553]

Fornax: Thanks for the info. How can we tell which Lite-Ons are the 851 model?

 

[hytek369]

good deal on a flat panel

People who own this monitor has said that the correct maximum resolution is "1280 x 1024" the specs on staples web site are incorrect.
