Hey Carl,
There was about a 1000 in line at my Best Buy store too. The 20 Acers were gone in about 30 seconds. However, I did pick up the Lexmark Z31 color printer for 19.99 after rebate. I'll give it to my son. I had given my son my old HP500 (Black only) and it needed a cartridge. I figured the Lexmark was actually cheaper than a cartridge! Faster too, 8ppm in black. I also picked up the PNY 50 spindle CD-Rs (free after rebate) and a few muisic cds my girls wanted.

I was at the store at 6:30, and the line was around the block so I sat in my car until the doors opened at 7:00. I picked up what I wanted, got in line at 7:30 and got to the register at 10:00!! Wow, 2-1/2 hrs. in line!

Actually, the Burner fiasco may be a blessing in disguise as I now think I want to get a decent "external" model so my son and I can share it.
