RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) ranman Profile Sounds good. Now if I could just get them to consider my compaq ipaq ia-1 with a microdrive in it to be a notebook, then I would be set! ranman 10-23-2002 16:44:25

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) VivianC Profile Cool. Is the new Sony DVD+-RW (DRU-500A) going to be on sale? 10-24-2002 10:17:57

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile I'll check it tonight. The flyer is at home. Any more requests? 10-24-2002 11:28:10

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) zonyl Profile Wow.. They dont have a notebook on compusa online that is cheaper than $1000. What ever happened to those sub notebooks that use to be like $600-800 or so. That would make it worth it. I paid $250 on my 560X thinkpad about a year ago on Ebay, and trading in for $300 wouldnt be all that exciting of a discount. Although I have tons of boat anchor Pentium 100's and stuff.. Too bad its only 166 and up. 10-24-2002 13:27:20

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile VivianC, The flyer does not show the DRU-500A anywhere...

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET THAT LAPTOP! I got that exact one a little while ago. I had to take back 4 of them! The last time I just got my money back. Each time it was a different problem, and their support people are asses! With that out of the way...what's this about $100 off a multi function printer? Do you have to give them a working old printer? What is the minimum? I have a perfect old printer for that.... 10-24-2002 17:46:13

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Zmoz, Details on page 4 says, Trade in your current printer and save $100 instantly on any multifunction printer $299 and up. ***Fine print---> Trade in must take place and instant savings must be used at the time of new product purchase. Limit one trade in instant savings per new product purchased. See store for details. OK I'm confused, which laptop did you have the problems with? The Toshiba or Compaq? What were the nature of the problems? 10-24-2002 22:08:34

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile So any old printer works? GREAT! I had problems with the toshiba laptop. First, it had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. The next one made a weird whining sound when it was in suspend. The next one's hard drive was making all kinds of clicking sounds. The next one didn't come with a power adapter. I was soooo pissed by that last one. I kept the 256 sodimm in the last one though, so we're even. . Then gateway screwed me, twice. Finally I got an HP. I love it! I wasn't very excited about HP, but even their cheapest models come with a DVD/CD-RW combo. Now that I got it I don't think I would get anything else. I'm on it now... 10-24-2002 22:33:55

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile VivianC, Sony DVD+-RW (DRU-500A) I Don't know if this is a good price? http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=297678 10-26-2002 22:15:23

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) inx3us Profile I know the question wasn't directed to me but there is a DVD RW in the tiger direct catalog for $259. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=P725-2000%20p 10-27-2002 07:33:39

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Well Zmoz, I considered your opinion and experiences with the Satellite 1115-S103. So I opted for this one, http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product%5Fcode=296279&csearch=1 I got $300 store credit on an old HP P-166 Omnibook 800CT. The service tech checked it out and issued a pink store credit voucher. I truly expected a real hassle and some haggling but everything went real smooth! The manager also granted a hassle free NO RECEIPT return on 2 512 MB sticks of PNY PC133 SDRAM still in original unopened retail packaging. They issued $261.10 store credit on the memory. (I may have got them both for 10% less than a "C" note a week ago from another retailer ) I walked out of C-USA with the Toshiba Satellite 1415-S173 Notebook for $935.67 Cash. (There is also a $50 MIR) I'm really impressed with this notebook! It has a 15" VERY BRIGHT display with NO defective pixels! I checked for defective pixels the very first thing! I remember Starfish linked a post to a LCD pixel utility many moons ago...I'm still looking for it. 10-27-2002 22:31:31

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) *SF* Profile After checking out the link above, Great Monitor Test Patterns & Instrutions. (Yet Simple) The only reason to still include this Link below is, this fits on a Floppy & can be used anywhere, But is only for Dead Pixels. http://www.edgeworld.com/notebook/old/dead.htm 10-28-2002 09:46:54

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile That one definately looks better than the other...hopefully it will work for a little while...hope you got a good warrantee with it! 10-28-2002 15:25:17

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile I'm going to get the Toshiba provided "No fault" extended warranty 3 yr for $229. I have 30 days to purchase it. Includes accidental damage including screen. The Compusa sales guy really tried to get me to buy thier TAP warranty. He got kinda jacky when I repeatedly declined. They wanted $399 for 3 years. I really don't trust the tech's at Compusa. Most are underpaid and bad attitudes. Even employ a few moron's. 10-28-2002 23:41:39

RE:This weekends ad @ Compusa...Get $300 trade in on P166 or higher (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile I just heard on the radio they have a deal now for trading in a 300mhz or higher desktop or laptop...although I didn't hear what they give you for it. Anybody know what they do with all this old crap? 10-30-2002 17:24:52
