Chris and I went to Office Depot today because she needed to pickup some stuff for school. Since she didn’t really need me for this part of our long journey around town, I was free to roam the store (i.e. peruse the computer section). I didn’t go there expecting to pickup anything, but then I saw this Office Depot In-Store Special for a Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM ATA/133 hard drive with an 8MB buffer, all for under $60 after $60 of rebates and a $10 instant savings. Chris even said, “Wow! That’s a good deal!” I couldn’t pass it up. Unfortunately, someone grabbed the last one in the store, the very one I had been hovering around the display to get myself! I was able to talk to one of the store managers, and she said that she could check delivery stock of the drives for a Tuesday delivery. She brought me to the front of the store, and in just one minute, we had my shipping information updated in their computer (they had my Normal address still) and my order was processed. Then she went to the back of the store to pickup a printout of my receipt and rebates, and I was good to go. On Tuesday, I’ll be waiting for my hard drive If you want one, you’d better hurry; the deal ends on January 31st.
