Apparently your CAPS LOCK button is broken. This may be a good time to
buy a new keyboard from one of those places you mentioned. Let us know
how good of a deal you got.

Typing in all capital letters does little but make it appear
that you have insufficient experience on the 'net to have an
informed opinion.

I did randomly pick a product and compared on Pricegrabber.
Newegg was only $1 higher than the lowest vendor, BEFORE
adding the shipping cost. AFTER adding shipping cost,
Newegg was lower.

"Sometimes", on some items you will find one store a dollar
or two cheaper than another, BUT then one also has to factor
in the addt'l shipping costs to use multiple vendors. You
also have to factor for the return hassles, as even quality
name-brand products are occasionally defective or otherwise
problematic. Dealing with some of the low-ball vendors on
Pricegrabber or pricewatch can easily cost an extra hour or
more in time trying to resolve problems. With Newegg, that
whole process is painless, you don't even have to call or
email them- just complete the RMA form on their 'site and
mail the product back. Very shortly after they receive it,
you are notifed of the resolution.

Meashershithead has been typing in all caps now for months. This means
he is either drunk, on drugs or has no idea what he is talking about or
all three.
Ignore his stupidity. He knows nothing about ink, paper or printers.
He's had but one printer in his entire miserable life.

That's not what I heard. The Army was behind and even the USAF
suffered recruitment shortfalls for the first time in its history.

>Waco had nothing to do with it.

The Waco Massacre was a blatant violation of Posse Comitatus. My son
who attended Texas A&M University told me students were not signing up
for ROTC because of the way the US Military had slaughtered 80
innocent men, women and children at Waco and then lied thru their
teeth to cover it up.

OK, I picked the NEC 3540. Pricegrabber did not report the prices
accurately. For example, the price depends on the color, so let's pick
the beige unit.

Newegg: No beige unit available.

Directron: Beige NEC ND-3520A 16x DVD Double Layer Burner, DVD+/-RW,
OEM Regular price: $42.99 On Sale: $39.99

My point is you are better off looking the prices up directly on the
suppliers' websites.
