If I Only Had A

Gotcha! No, I wasn't going to say 'brain'. I was going to say '$900 laying around'. Why? Well since you asked so nicely I will tell you. Dell is activating a '$750 off $1499 or more' coupon on its Inspiron notebooks this morning at 8:00 AM my time. Whaaaaa!!! I could configure a top of the line notebook and get it half off. The coupon details are as follows:

Offer: Save $750 on select Inspiron notebook purchases of $1499 or more (before tax and shipping)!

Restrictions: Not combinable with Inspiron notebooks containing Celeron Processors, Inspiron 2200s, Deals of the Week, Outrageous Deals, dollars off, percentages off and select other promotions. Only one coupon may be applied per cart at checkout. Coupon code expires after first 10,000 uses, or when the limited quantities available through this offer are depleted, whichever is earlier. Offers subject to change. View details in My Cart. Enter coupon code at checkout to receive this offer. Limited quantities at this price. Limited time offer. ONLINE ONLY.
If you want the coupon code email me and I'll send it to you.

Just for fun, I've configured a notebook and then wept afterward. The details of my Inspiron 6000:

  • Pentium® M Processor 730
  • Windows XP Professional

    OK, I need to configure it cheaper. I want it to be around $900. Will now try again.

    I'm getting into the shower now to wash away my tears. :(

    Doesn't that suck? That kind of crap happens to me too. My fave crappy situation (if there can be a fave)? Showing up at a fast food restaurant 1 minute after they stop serving breakfast. Yeah right, like at 10:30 all your breakfast items vanish into thin air.

    Wow. I can get off topic huh?

    I'm getting a new laptop soon; my husband wants me to get the G5, but the G4's are getting really cheap, and I don't really need the power of a G5, so... we'll see.
