Yeah lets hope that happens again! I've been waiting for quite a while for that deal to come back! Where oh where was I on March 17th when Dell had the X50v for a paltry $399 CAD?

I also bought my x50v for $399 CDN during that sale and I'm hoping it's offered again so I can buy another one as a gift for a family member.

I ordered the 80GB external hard drive on Wednesday June 1 and received it Thursday morning June 2!! I didn't ask for special shipping or anything like that either.
I was totally surprised at how fast that was, because it had said THE ESTIMATED DATE OF ARRIVAL FOR THIS ORDER IS(MM/DD/YYYY): 06/16/2005

I wasn't really in any rush to get this, unlike my x50v which I was totally waiting impatiently for and took a lot longer than a day, but still, it was nice to get it so fast.

I believe somehow they fail to update the link for June 4th deal!
Well, here is the direct link for June 4th deal:

Picked up a printer for my parents today. I have been trying to get one of those usb drives three times now but have been sold out.

Btw-always click on the deal if even you aren't interested. sometimes there are two deals. Missed out on the remote the other day because I didn't.

Today's deal is the Dj MP3 players. Click on the deals but yesterdays was still up on the flash pop up. If you click on that you get today deal. Bought the DJ 30gig for $250.00. Have been thinking of getting one of these but holding back because I was running out of room on my hard drive and because I use the x50v for music. I have been cramming music on there and looking for more flash cards. I decided to take the plunge :) Now I have music for my motorcylce and truck and everywhere else. Had a flash player but no rechargable battery with a sd slot. But the batteries only last 8 hours.

Had to hold back on getting the complete care I hope the microdrives in these are meant take the abuse of running, being in car, motorcylce vibration.

I would expect to hear a little skipping when running. Walking, on the motorcycle etc you'll have no issue at all.

They (hdd based players) have a small memory cache on them where they memorize songs. So when you press play it will spin the hdd, cache say 20MB-25MB (not sure of the specifics of the DJ) of songs and then stop the hdd. You could say that it's really reading ahead for 2-4 songs, depending on song length and bitrate etc. This means that really the hdd is only spinning for a short period of time and you're not really spending much time reading from the hdd at all, it's almost entirely coming from the cache, which means that you'll get no skipping. But - if you're running it [b]might[/b] not have time to read in the data into the cache fast enough if it's having trouble coping with the vibration, giving some skipping. Anyway - I know that some people have said that they run with hdd based players with no problem and others have commented that they get some skipping. It probably depends on how you run too.
