Doh I forgot about that, I get a lot from Teaneck(or Edison, shipped from one scanned in other normally) when ordering from them.
what about zipzoomfly or buy.com :)

buy.com ships from a warehouse in TX but never charges me sales tax, I think it is because it is not their warehouse they just process a drop ship from ingram micro :)

Don't forget 6% Bing cashback on Newegg orders.

and the 1GB sticks, keep them around you never know when you may need them :)

But newegg charges tax in NJ. :( Hence I generally order from buy.com or zipzoomfly. Both also qualify for bing.com cashback.

Wow, just Wow. People actually recommended to me to lie on my resume to get a job. :eek: Yea that's a good piece of ethical advice. Oh wait they live in NJ and work for pay-for-play companies. I shouldn't have expected any less.

My phone just rang and here is the transcript of the conversation:

Me: "Go for :rolleyes:v
GF: "Seriously, you answer your phone like that"
Me: "Yes whats up"
GF: :rolleyes: and says OMG you have to open up the New York Times.com Travel section, I think Seth is on it"
Me: "Yes, he is famous now, would you like an autograph, I can get you one if you start reading his blog :D ?"

I will get the specs on the memory after the theater tonight...Ace of Base was popular the last time I bought memory.

In the strictest sense of the word, I read somewhere once that more than 95% of resumes contain lies.

I've heard from a few other FT-related people who remember me and noticed the picture, including one who tagged me as "that guy who carried wine in his pocket, right?"

The Club Acela lounges have no booze. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm here with a half hour to spare and nothing to drink. I could go out into the station and buy booze but then I'd lose my ability to pre-board and order more booze more quickly. I lead a tough life, it seems.

You should have let me know you were coming - I could have run accross the street and brought you some booze.

baglady, are you going to the PPAI show in LAS, Jan 2010?

I am not sure. All of my travel is a little bit in limbo right now. I am optomistically planning travel without actually booking anything that I can't cancel.

So I was thinking of getting a new pda phone. This one I can get in HKG for much cheaper that here in the US. Does anyone know if it will work with Verizon?


Does Verizon use any of the following networks/bands? GSM 850; GSM 900; GSM 1800; GSM 1900; GPRS; Edge; HSDPA 1.8; HSDPA 3.6; HSDPA 7.2; HSDPA 850; HSDPA 1900; HSDPA 2100; UMTS 850; UMTS 1900; UMTS 2100

Verizon uses CDMA in the US.
