Struck out.
I've been wanting an external hard drive for a while now... I really need to back up my important documents (especially my digital pictures) and just having the extra storage space would be nice! Plus, if I had one that was big enough I could put EVERYTHING on my PC right now on it. And then... Full Windows XP reinstallation. Ah... I need it!
Anyway...! Of course, I've been watching SlickDeals pretty closely, on the lookout for a good deal. Last night I came across this one. It's a little involved... Price match to Staples at Office Depot and then send in the rebate, but the end result would've been a 160GB drive for $19.95! Slick deal indeed... So I went around to the Tallahassee Office Depots in search of the drive. Every store was sold out. :-( Oh, but Best Buy next door had about twenty of the suckers!
Maybe it's for the best... Some people are saying that Office Depot was being a bitch about the price match, and there's a chance that the rebate wouldn't have gone through. I did some more searching and came across this drive, which is on sale for $100 and bigger (250GB). Plus it has FireWire and USB connections...I think I should jump on it!
Oh, guess what I saw at Best Buy? BLUE MAN GROUP INSTRUMENTS!
The Keyboard Experience
Percussion Tubes
Well... They look a little cheap and they were so small, it was obvious they were meant for little kids. But I still thought that was pretty cool! I played the demos on both, most likely annoying the folks around me. Ah well! :-P
