Jeramie Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 In the true spirit of 2008, I was un-able to get on for a while. Number one, our company was bought out by Honeywell. All websites to do with firearms were blocked. We already had some restrictions but they went overboard. Number two, my Toshiba laptop at the house died. When I say it died... I mean it Died. It wouldnt even boot up. Really bad considering I had a set of Fire station plans to get ready for bid. I couldnt finish them! Anywho... I started looking for a good Laptop but really cant afford one this close after Christmas. It just so happens I stepped into Best Buy and they had a 17" Widescreen Toshiba, 3-gig or ram, 160 gig HD, dual core, wifi, dvd burner, decked out for $554 on clearance. They had three on the shelf and one floor model. I called my wife and she started shuffling bills to see what we could do. She worked it out. As soon as work was over I ran back to Bestbuy to find out they had sold the three off of the shelf and only had one floor model. I was trying to get some help with the floor model when some other guy (that out weighed me by 50lbs) walked up and grabbed the card from in front of me. I was about to go to the floor with him when he decided the computer wasnt worth all of that. The Salesman started ringing me up and I told him I wanted a discounted price because of the floor model. He said they couldnt do that. So the very next salesman to walk by got the same question and he told me he would knock off 10%. Needless to say he got my business. I added a cordless, optical mouse and cashed out at $558. They kept it overnight and restored everything to new. I finished the firestation plans this past weekend (which paid for the computer) and everything is good! And.... I did a little crying to the IT guys and now im surfing from work.. :cool: So finally, after about 2-weeks... Im here to annoy. And sorry about the lag in the squirrel comp. The last few times I had been on here was from a borrowed blackberry. I will get the updated score to Chris today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Good to have you back Jeramie, Now I better log off and get this bid done myself. Seems in this economy I'm doing alot of bidding and getting few contracts. Oh well, I'm glad I'm on salary right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
