Journal Chacham's Journal: Verbiage: OfficeMax rebate, buying early to return to re-buy 7
Someone told me about SlickDeals which is reporting that OfficeMax having an in-store special for a Western Digital 80 GB Hard Drive for twenty dollars after rebate.
The part that gets me is
It is very likely that the HD will be out of stock in the first 5 minutes the store opens. Some stores are already out of stock because people are buying it early, returning and re-buying tomorrow.
People buy it early and return it? That just seems inappropriate. Then again, if someone bought it early *without* knowing about this, they should be able to return it and get the rebate. Or at least it would be nice.
Hmm...

I have no fantasies about how I can be a part of the private sector and "make it" in this world. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans who are deluded that they can be part of the capitalist system. Sorry, but it's a Ponzi scheme designed to keep the rich at the top and the fools who think they can get rich at the bottom. I'd far rather

And for 80Gig? Not that I have anything larger, but if you're going to add some capacity to your PC it's hardly worth using up a drive bay for anything less than 200Gig.

As far as buying 200GB drives only? Bah, nonsense. The one drive I have that is 80GB is one in my desktop that I do audio cleanup of our church sermons on, but it wasn't the size that sold me, but the 8MB cache.
I can see folks that have large multimedia collections buying 200GB drives, but your average end user is not looking for that when they add a new drive.
Anyways, b
