amazon gold box right now

I would miss the ps2 compatibility a little, but I'd probably trade my 60gb away too if someone offered. I'd rather have the new one that's quiet and uses half the power...

That's right, they make their apps with the restriction in mind. However, that does not mean they'll make crappy little apps; that means they'll split their code and data which is good programming practice anyway. The code, which is very small, will live in the 256mb and the data will be...

Dead of Knight - congratulations on the job! My only real comment is that you may want to wait until you actually need to make some big purchase to get that sears master card - every time I buy something from sears, they try to push the card on me by offering 10% off my first purchase - might...

How much are you willing to spend now, how long are you willing to wait, and how much can you save up (that you want to spend)?

What I mean by grace period is the time from when they send the statement till when it's due. I'm sorry for the misleading wording, but that's what the industry uses. Also, if you don't pay everything fully, your grace period is gone. New purchases will start accumulating interest...

They're not supposed to charge more for credit cards than cash, and I haven't seen it in awhile, but it happens. There are also some people who will offer not to charge sales tax if you pay in cash, but there's generally something shady going on there. Aside from that, almost all credit cards...

Heh, what was clear to me was that we need EA Ultimate Frisbee 2010 It's pretty easy to take the wm+ out of the skin, I just peeled the skin back. It's still in one piece. I also don't think it's that hard to plug the wm+ into the wiimote... sometimes the instructions just complicate things

i'll take it for 16

I wonder if board games count

As long as you've been paying the statement balance off in full on time, no interest will be charged. I wait for the closing date to buy things sometimes just because it effectively gives you an extra month to pay, heh

Yeah, especially since she lost her ss#, she might want to contact the credit agencies and have them put a fraud alert on her number for a couple years. They might have suggestions on what else to do as well.

Credit cards are what i'd worry about the least. Cancel the card as soon as possible and you won't be liable for anything, you'll just have to fill out a couple forms.
