Sorry, I was pissed and prob overcomplicating things. I don't really know what it that you're doing with this all, but it's prob not the 2400 dpi stuff I used to work with. I shouldn't worry, if I were you.

Nah, there's loads of cheap crap that's accurate to 0.2g that's perfectly good enough for those cnuts. But, given that 0.2g = 3.1 grains, you'll understand why I need a little more precision.

I think....but could well be wrong....that it's an embroidery machine. Probably less than 24 dpi!

@ me, then.

Amazon have just put a Cricut machine up on there limited time offers. Probably the middle of the night where you are though and its only up for 1 hour.

does watching the madness on tele count as sports watching?

The missus had to work at 5:30 so after dropping her off, went to Walmart as it is only a little further up the street, found a game on someones wish list going cheap, so queued the hour to get it...only to find while doing the grocery shop at Target, where they didn't have queues, it was cheaper on the clearance rack

Yeah, I was disappointed too. Stayed up past midnight to get those reloading scales, only to find (when I got into the details) that they're only accurate to 0.2 grains, not 0.1 as claimed, so I didn't bother.

I did my Black friday shopping online at Amazon while still in my jammies.
They have those hot deals that come up if you wait and watch, I got Ds's computer I hesitated and they were all gone in about a minute, so I was on the wait list for 30 minutes then finally got one when some people didn't check out in time. I'm very happy to have got it, Toshiba, with the web cam etc for less than I could find a decent one anywhere here. ($329) He'll be very pleased on Christmas day I'm sure.
I did well there last year too, I got older Ds his TomTom.

Walmart has them in stock, online for $185.

I still have no idea what they are, though.

N1cky

Yes, these were selling for $83 though. Big saving.

Not my thing I'm not crafty, just saw someone was after one on here.

Bob

the missus really wants the one that does the cake decorations...but I was sooo not going back for it

Well thank you all for those helpful pointers. The much cheaper one is a smaller version of what I got. I do already have one but the new one is for me and the one I have here is off to my neice as they are much more expensive in the UK even with postage and any customs she might get stung for.

Ohhh and just so you know, it cuts card, paper, vinyl, thin wood veener and such like. I use it in crafting projects, cards, scrapbooking, cupcake wrappers, vinyl wall word art and any number of other artsy fartsy stuff.

This is a pic of a paper piece I did after seeing the now very famous image in a Sunday paper.



But we did manage to get one, the bigger version and a couple of extra bits, all for $200. We were in and out of Walmart in around 25 minutes. Very painless. I've had a harder time trying to get past the blue rinse brigade fighting for plum pudding in Marks and Sparks on Christmas Eve!!

Oh and Bob, the Cricut cake is going reasonably cheaply in Costco at the moment!

Mummy in the foothills

Well I broke down and went out, so while we were out I went by Staples and Walmart (not many stores in the boonies) Both were dead. Walmart had loads of cheap flat screen TV's left piled up all over the place, and I got myself a new basic point and shoot Kodak (mine is ancient) just about all the early bird specials were left, minus the laptops. So if anyone wants to get the deals next year it pays to drive up hill to Jackson CA. Even Staples still had a lot of stuff left, I got Ds a padded sleeve for his new laptop and a memory stick all for great prices

MrEmjoy

Which Kodak was it?

The easy share?

Mummy in the foothills

Yes just a cheapy that I can actually understand ($59 till they are all gone!) my digi camera is so old it's a 3.2 megapixels, I think it may be wanted by a museum somewhere, as it was a good one back in the day
