I didn't do the whole sit in front of the store early thing. Around my area people will get in line 3 hours early, screw that I rather sleep in my nice warm bed than sit on in the Minnesota cold, or if I wanted to compensate for lost mail in rebates I could just work a few hours. I used to do it in the past but not anymore. Bought some computer parts though, from the local computer shop that I do alot of business, best prices without dicking around with mail in rebates, plus better customer service than BB
