Call them up and see if they still have them. Price might be higher than the best online deals, but at least you can walk out the door with one in your hands!

- wow... i remember the drive out Rt. 50 from Arlington to go to the 'Geek Mecca' (AKA Microcenter)... IIRC, it was a right turn off 50 onto Nutley... i bought *beaucoup* stuff there as they had a great, no-questions-asked return policy...

- the best part was the yellow-tag area... scored some great deals on electronics tools (which i still use today, nearly eight years later), and built up my collection of still-in-the-shrinkwrap commercial Linux software (Loki games, Quake, Tribes, etc.)

(i figure that 10 years from now there will be a powerful enough x86 emulator on a handheld to allow me to install and run some of the games)
