Journal zogger's Journal: Black Cyber Weekend Days Ultra Sales!! 9
All RIGHT, let's hear it, fess up! We all like gadgets, what did you score, tell us your deals you found and bought this start of the binge buying season! We all have to do our part to *stimulate the economy* you know. So, I got the "10% off!!" treatment in an email from my disk clone dealer, succumbed to temptation, and broke the bank and got my fedora 10 disk coming, DVD, six clams and change, shipping included.
