Must be just an area sale or "if you got one, get rid of it" sale.

thanks for the find tigg...


oh and I'm riding for sure now... I need to put some miles on... and I've got monday off now... (still leaving sunday though) so I can take my time getting home... may run over and hang with Ambly if he's down...
No problem. That's great actually because I don't travel like you guys and I've been thinking about running mine back to the store. It definitely a nice piece...have you used the web cam yet? But I hate typing on it with my big clumsy paws! Besides, if I tow I'll have plenty of room for my 17" lap top. Funny, to get my car "tow ready" is gonna cost about the same as the netbook. Do I need a hitch or do I need another computer?

I've run into that a lot with Walmart. Did either of you check Sam's? Maybe it's a screwup of some kind. Lord knows the card was completely wrong, said it had a 120G HD, etc.

naw haven't used the web cam... but it's all good... the only reason I need a laptop is for pictures and internet access... don't care about anything else... gonna probably strip this one down... no need for office or all the extra bs programs...

still undecided if I'll put lightroom on it... it'd make it much easier to export the photos to my website... but may slow it down too much for my liking...

WOAH!!!

Wait!!!!...is this 199 the normal price at Wally World or was this a sale or open item? My PC keeps overheating and shuts off 3 times a day (its 4 years old now)...so 200 claims for a new laptop would be sweet.

I think 280 is the normal price... it's what I paid... wouldn't use it as my sole computer though... but I've got a nice desktop for all that

Well, it's got 1G RAM and a 1.6 processor so it'll probably be okay...besides, you can always delete it later goofy grape!

yeah... though even uninstalling some programs still leaves things in the registry... I'm sure adobe does this to get by people installing the 30day trial... then uninstalling and reinstalling at day 31.
but I did install it... and firefox. deleting most everything else I think. no use for it.
