Re: Gotta spend money to save money

I don't see the problem. Your $79 liberates the home delivery.

Normally, the $79 home delivery costs $20.

No no, I mean, if you want the $79 home delivery, it's $20.

I hope the "Free $79 in-home delivery" is supposed to mean "Free delivery ($79 value)".

It's tempting to Ask a store associate for more details.

No, it means that if you purchase $1,500 of furniture, they bring $79 to your house.

You order the furniture, then a guy drives up to your dwelling in an empty truck and hands you $79.

Or, given the topic, the first comment I have placed using a new computer.

Now that you've placed a comment using a new computer, try placing a comment using a banjo.

Don't hate my new computer. My old computer died at a very inconvenient time and I'm out $500 for the new computer. And nobody delivered either the new computer or $79.

Some people go to the ATM for cash. Some people go to the bank. Some people have it delivered $79 at a time by a Best Buy employee. But Joe was sick today.

Maybe I should go into that store and ask a store associate, politely but firmly, for $79.

So far, Windows 7 does not suck appreciably worse than Windows XP.

It's mostly the same! Except for some things you have to get used to!
Plus, less ugly and crashes so much less often!

Similarly, you get a lot free with your $75 payment here.

I drove a Toyota, then I got ten dollars. Plus I had to answer maybe ten questions. It's like they wanted to personally reassure me that their cars won't just crash themselves into the side of Best Buy.

Windows 79 is actually Vista, but they pay you $79 after you install it. (They'd pay you before, but then you might walk off with the $79 and ignore the Vista.)

I'm putting off the FREE upgrade to 7 I got with this laptop until classes are over.

31: Somebody told me Windows 7 is XP as updated by somebody trying to make it look like a Mac. I haven't used a Mac in years, so I wouldn't know about that part.

The Prius was really computerish to drive. To someone who usually drives a 1995 Jeep, it was sort of alarming to see "Park" is now a button and that keys don't have to be in ignition switches for cars to start.

I'd say the Prius also allows you to sneak up on anyone you want and run them over with no warning, but the prevalence of people wearing headphones has probably taken the novelty out of that idea.

I'd say this has been true of pretty much every version of Windows as compared to the previous version.
