Damn... I had everything in my shopping cart for this and decided to wait until morning so I could research the Linux compatibility a little more. In the morning the $110 discount was down to $80. Figuring I better get the ball rolling I completed everything up to and including my credit card information for a total of $315 with tax after rebate (free shipping where I am). Opera 6.05 crapped out on a Java popup after I clicked the final "Click here to confirm your order". I fired up IE and wham.. The price had jumped up again another $30. I tried to get the URL from Opera and cut-n-paste into IE but I could not access my old cart. I called two different people at Dell and tried to plea my case for the $110 and the $80 but it fell on deaf ears. Both basically stated that they would take a loss at that price and they could not reproduce that deal, and then proceded to try to get my to by extra ram, a service deal, 3 more drives, etc.. and they could work with me. Yeah, right.
Maybe someone was trying to tell me I really did not need it after all. Even at $345 it is still an outstanding deal but not really something I need right now. I was just going to buy it because it was an even better deal before that. Dude, I almost had a Dell..
