I missed this over the weekend, but Dwight Silverman does a good job of breaking down the $100 PC available during the Thanksgiving Shopping spree.

Surprise, surprise, the $100 for a PC really isn’t quite the deal it appears to be. It would be nice if retailers could go the route Dwight suggests, and just make buying a PC as uncomplicated as it can be. It’s already complicated enough for someone without a lot of tech knowledge, why make the shopping experience confusing too?

    We’ve made it back from celebrating my Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law’s birthdays up in Sandusky, OH. Had a great time, thanks to Angela’s folks for taking us up there and showing us a good time! While I was gone, there’s been no word on the abuse site, although I do notice that it’s now coming up…

    For the record, this was how I spent most of my morning, and I’m passing this along in case you ever have to fix this. When someone tries to send a 135MB attachment, and it gets stuck in their Outbox in Outlook, this would seem to be the best solution. Unplug the machine from the…
