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?

    I hate the Monday after Daylight Savings Time starts. I especially hate having to attend a staff meeting (yawn!) first thing in the morning on the Monday after daylight savings time starts. There is not enough coffee in the world to get me going for that. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized
