Just watched Monoprice's video on their new 30" LCD display.
But they also mention their 27" 2560x1440 display. $390. This has my attention. I have been wanting something with more than the common '1080p' resolution.

NewEgg's cheapest at that resolution is $640. http://bit.ly/10fVlsc

Any opinions on this monoprice item? I have low-resolution (color clarity) eyes, so perfect color snob I am not. But I want larger screen and real estate.

New email shows they have yet another offering in this 27" space. Priced a bit higher.

Any recommendations for cheap but decent cooking knives? These Ikea ones just aren't doing it.

You missed the low-hanging fruit... it's SHOULD BE...."these knives just aren't CUTTING it!"

I
don't
KNOW
you
!

:)

We actually bought some better/sharper knives... unintended consequence is we're now afraid to use them. Freakishly sharp. Seriously, I almost won't even touch them. Our old knives one could perhaps accidentally brush up against the cutting edge and have brain-time to process "sharp...back away...." but NOT THESE KNIVES... they cut when touched. ( I have the world's softest skin and everything cuts me, though. Some reason I don't callous, even when I worked in a factory and worked-out heavily)

Cutting is what incisors are for, you Darwin followers !]]> El Jeffe Spork Central Sun, 28 Apr 2013 08:10:50 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,547,42048#msg-42048 Re: DealSpork http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,547,42048#msg-42048 Roger Spork Central Sat, 27 Apr 2013 23:42:23 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,547,42047#msg-42047 Re: DealSpork http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,547,42047#msg-42047

Anyone looking to pick up (in general) old PPC Macs, pre-Mac OS X software, etc? The old inventory is around somewhere, but I'll do a new one if demand warrants.

I do know I just got my Pismo back in working order so it is potentially in the mix as well.

Also, the Think Different poster sets are still available. No fire-sale on those, sorry, (they don't take up much room) but I *am* willing to part with them for a price.

Well, Wal-Mart had the cheapest price believe it or not on the MG-5320, which also has affordable/generic ink available. $89. Yeah, Frys has the newer one, but different ink.
Anywaaaaaaaays....

Just registered the printer at USA Canon and got a coupon from 50% off printer paper. Oh, if you want it, it's "...P130401 during checkout. Click here http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PromoDesc_10051_10051_-1?WT.mc_id=C130284 to visit the Canon Online Store today!" See if YOU can find paper that will actually USE the code... I could NOT. And Canon puts salestax in there. ?????

So, they do offer/give you TWO for one without the code. I was curious, as I always am, how affordable that is compared to general prices. Well, ADORAMA has the Canon 4x6 paper GP-502 for the by far cheapest I could find of $7.29 DELIVERED. So, if you're in the market for this or as a gift, that's pretty reasonable. I don't usually/ever shop for photo paper. I just send it to Wal-Mart, snappish, et al....

I didn't really have a problem with their relatively slow shipping before but this time the extended delay and their unresponsiveness has me really irritated. I waited until 11 business days had passed before contacting them to ask for an update. They responded two days later saying that there was a "minor delay" and that it would ship in 3 to 5 more business days. Another week passed and it still didn't ship so I contacted them again. That was 3 days ago and they've yet to respond to me. They haven't responded to the PayPal dispute I filed yesterday either.]]> Cloudscout Spork Central Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:49:58 -0400
