it is not worth the madness, the crowds, the marketing manipulatation, and the fact the Walmart is a dirt bag place to shop.

I'd rather get an MP3 player than a damn laptop. I already have a good enough laptop.

Anything is possible.
wouldn't do me any good. I need a large hard drive, lots of RAM and a super fast processor to be happy.

I know everyone has to work and I won't come down to hard on you.
I hope you can get a job where you're treated better and paid what you're worth.
And I hope that your kitten is nice and healthy.
but I don't shop there. sure, stuff is cheap, but I can't shave with my eyes closed so I have to look in the mirror every morning.

I saw on CNN that wal mart released their ad early. Apparently due to low sales or something if i remember the article right. But they didn't say where the ad was. I didn't see it on wal mart's web page so i googled for it and found it as a pdf here: http://download.bfads.net/BFAds-Walmart.pdf
The hypocrisy in that statement is pretty ridiculous coming from you. a lot of folks would say the same thing about working in the porn industry. That was a rather insulting thing to say and may be even a new low for you. This was a perfectly nice tech thread about an unbelievable low price on a piece of electronic merchandise and you pop along and throw your arrogant rude comment in and then whisk away.
There isn't anything wrong with people shopping or working at wal mart. On the most basic level, people who don't have a lot of money have to go for the cheapest price and if that is wal mart on well. I also do not i see anything wrong with working in the porn industry. I could make an equally rude comment about you and working in the porn industry, but that would also be insulting seth/jd and the many great folks who work with/at JUB. So, unlike you i have no desire to randomly insult everyone i come across.

Mikey, I don't think Jasun was attacking the person, but the store where he works.
Dollar to a donut he isn't working at Wal-Mart because he loves it. I'm sure he would jump on a better job should one come along. Not everyone gets the job they want & end up having to work for a place like Wal-Mart just to survive.

The discount-notebook madness continues.
Circuit City will try to best Wal-Mart Stores and Staples in notebook pricing this holiday season with a Compaq notebook for $299 after rebates, or $99 with rebates and a 12-month subscription to Vonage, according to bargain-hunting Web site Black Friday Ads.
The site posts scans of Sunday newspaper inserts before they get delivered in papers. The deals can change, but history shows that the prices reflected in the ads become a reality. Steve Baker at NPD Techworld earlier this month predicted that $99 laptops, after all rebates and specials, would appear this holiday season.
Wal-Mart and Staples have come out with $398 and $399 Compaq notebooks.
The Circuit City notebook is similar, with a few exceptions. It comes with a Celeron processor from Intel rather than processors from Advanced Micro Devices. The Circuit City laptop, however, contains a drive that burns both DVDs and CDs, not just CDs like the Wal-Mart laptop. Wal-Mart's site is no longer advertising the cheap Compaq laptop, an indication that it may already be sold out.
All three come with 512MB of memory, a 15.4-inch screen and a 60GB hard drive.
Circuit City currently sells the Compaq notebook for $499--it says the computer ordinarily lists for $680. To get to $299, Circuit City gives consumers a $280 instant rebate at the store and a coupon for a $100 mail-in rebate ($680 minus $380 comes to $299).

The Vonage subscription is a novel twist. Often, retailers will offer $99 PCs but require that consumers subscribe to 12 months of Internet service, usually from AOL. In this case, the price of the PC is partly subsidized through phone service.
While analysts expect consumer electronics sales to grow this holiday season, they also expect significant price cuts on items such as PCs and TVs. Amazon.com and Wal-Mart currently offer a discount Panasonic plasma TV.
Hewlett-Packard, which makes Compaq brand PCs, has been one of the more aggressive companies when it comes to pricing. HP passed Dell last quarter to be the largest PC maker in the world.
Dell, however, is no stranger to discounting and will likely try to regain ground lost to HP. Similarly, Acer, which has been the fastest-growing PC maker in the world for the past two years, and Gateway, which is trying to cling to its market share, have strong motivations to cut prices.
