    Lol, maybe I can hook ya up with ITTtech for a refurral fee. ^^;

    Really, in you're mall? That'll probably eventually come to the Yuppy mall here.

    It wasn't an amazing commercial. It was they're line up on a table spinning. The laptops looked cheaply animated in the commercial for some reason. They had they're own 'Intel Inside' sound affect on guitar. That was kind of cool.

    Connie, can you get on your browser (imagine if your computer is off.) get to there site, get to that model, and customize it before the ten minutes is up? Those are hard to meet circumstances if you ask me.

    LOL ohh cmmon hunz you know very well that the 10mins thing is total bs ;) just like ronco grill and gemnetwork "diamatium earing" deals... whole point of the advert time limit is to rush people in order to exploit their adrenaline rush... once you get that deal you feel like a winner for about a day, than about a week later you go "ohh well ohh" and a month later you get that "well that was stupid" feeling after spending 3 or 4 grand for something others already sell for cheaper... im willing to bet if you call in that coupon right now and say you just seen it thelle give you the discount anyways just to push a sale, lets member what company were dealing with ;) its the Bally totall fitnes heist... get as much money upfront as possible and bet that the sucker wont come back to redeem the years worth of membership altho hese contractually bound to pay for it
