It's exactly what it says it is. It's a leisure suit. You know, those things they wore in the 70's that were made of polyester and were worn to the Discos?

Koreth, if your local Guitar Center ever holds any amp seminars or whatever you'd call it where they introduce you to the world of amps, I highly recommend you attend if you're at all serious about it. Wattage is one measurement of many and does not necessarily indicate volume, tone, or anything else. Anyone who's heard a Mesa Boogie .22 Cal would know that you can hurt yourself regardless of whether it's "only" running 22W, or watching otherwise proud Marshall stack owners weep at the feet of a Mark III...

I picked up a 2GB USB drive and a 2GB SD card for $12 each recently. Other than that I can't remember any good deals.

I've been ripped off more times than I can count, though.

One for the Brits.

Sandisk 1GB Micro SD Card - £8.04 inc VAT (when they get more damned stock in.) Most brick and mortar shops were charging 2 or 3 times that price for the same product.

Note: dabs.com reputedly has terrible customer service, as I've never had a problem I can't back this up from personal experience. Just something you might wish to be aware of.

I've been there before. I got a teak outdoor table (yeah, real teak) for $3.69 once while working at The Andersons. Normal price, $69.95.
