Anyone with an XBox 360 knows that Halo 3 comes out on Tuesday Sept. 25. Even though I don’t bother stocking new games these days, I have pre-ordered a few copies and most of those are claimed already. If it’s anything like the Halo 2 launch, they’ll sell a shit load of copies [...]

It’s pretty bad when a business is better off buying certain things from competitors instead of from distributors. Case in point, the local Shopper Drugmart had a good sale on Pepsi yesterday. 6 bottles for just $1.97, limit of 4 items per person, so of course me and the wife got each 4 on Sunday, [...]

I’m soon going to add CRT monitors to my list of things I have in the store that you practically have to give away to get rid of. Right next to VHS movies, music cassettes and Sega Genesis sports games. With LCD monitors becoming ridiculously cheap in the last year or so (22″ widescreen for [...]

Any computer can benefit from having more RAM, with a couple of exceptions of course. Old computer with windows 98? Don’t bother putting more than 512mb in it, it’ll cause problems. The other problem arises with old computers from the Pentium II, III and early Celeron era. Most of those need PC100 RAM. PC133 looks [...]

I usually get a couple calls a week from people who want to sell me a used computer. And hardly any of them have a clue as to what the computer is. When I ask what it is I tend to get answers of ‘it’s a dell’ or ‘it’s a compaq’ or even ‘it’s a [...]

Soon. And it’s going to be big. But unfortunately that’s about all I can say about it!
Ok, a little more info. Simply put, it’s a breakthrough in household cleaning products. Imagine having a cleaning product so safe that if your child were to drink it, they would be completely unharmed. I’ve been using it myself [...]

It’s not only in the banking fees that we get shafted. And speaking of banking fees, it isn’t just coins that cost a fortune. My basic banking fees per month are $59, this allows a certain number of deposits and withdrawals. If I go over that number, it’s another $1 per transaction. [...]

I might still want it. Had someone bring in a PS2 to sell today, as usual I hooked it up to see if it works and this one didn’t. It would turn on, but out of 4 games I tested, none of them would load. Him and his friends kept mumbling to each other over [...]

Someone called up today wanting to sell an Xbox 360 with 6 games. Cool I thought, and asked him how much he was looking to get for it. $600. Riiiight. I realize that the system was $500 new and games are around $60 each, and then of course the 14% sales [...]
