Have a friend drop one off for you. As for the tv, get a cart or they might just have a ticket you grab, I don't know anything about Fry's.

At CompUSA their sale starts at midnight. I'm heading out to wait in line at 9:30-10 to grab a 200 gig internal and an external case. Then I'll have 2 externals! I'm hoping I can get it. I think 2 or 2.5 hours early is enough. If not, Staples and BB have 200 gigs tomorrow morning for a little more.

Black friday ads leaked about 4 days ago, I would have thought they had been posted already.

I found a good resource for Black Friday ads
http://www.keepcash.com/blackfriday/

I'll be at Best Buy at 4:30am, get my kids their computer for $149.99, then i'm running over to Staples to pick up my 19" Samsung LCD flat screen for $256 out the door. I'll come back home, fill out my $57 mail in rebate for the monitor and drop it off in the mail on my way to work at 8am :happysad:

Hey, my girlfriend needs a decent reliable computer for school. What are the specs on the one you're picking up?

It's nothing special and prolly all of you guys will say it's a POS, but for my 10 and 11yr olds I think it'll be more than sufficient.

eMachines Intel Celeron D 340 2.93Ghz processor
256mb DDR RAM
80gig HD
DVD/CD-RW combo drive
17" CRT flat screen monitor

I rarely go out on Black Friday simply because I'm scared of all the caffeinated minivan moms who will be using their vans as missles. But, if I do go out, I'll be buying RAM to help my dad's computer limp a little faster.
