Amazon now has Free Overnight Shipping on Select Invicta Watches

Expiration: Now through February 13th, 12 Noon PST, get Free Overnight Shipping on select Invicta…

This is a true story.
Speaking of watches… I went to a local watch shop to have the battery replaced in my 8 year old swiss army watch. I think the watch cost about $300 dollars when I bought it.

The watch shop is adjacent to Beverly Hills and they carry very high end stuff. The lady in front of me was picking up her $700 leather band for her watch. I am sure the watch cost thousands.

Anyway… I walked in to the shop and it was very busy, it reminded me of a busy fish market. I told the guard I need my battery replaced and who should I speak with. The 8 dollar an hour guard looked at my watch and said there is a Sears or Wal-Mart down the road… He then laughed and said he was kidding and pointed me in the right direction.

Wow I got slammed by a rent a cop. It’s not like I brought in a 5 dollar Timex. (There is nothing wrong with Timex, I have owned many in my life time.) I thought about insulting him back, but what good would that do.

The lady who helped me at the counter was very courteous and treated me like a valued customer.

HP Pavilion dv2710us 14.1″ Laptop

I have this exact same computer. I really enjoy the computer. Circuit City users have rated this computer 3.8 star out of 4 stars. I agree it’s not a 4 star computer, but it’s pretty close. Read user reviews here.

I do have a couple of issues with the laptop. The “quick play” feature is annoying. There is a way to disable it but I just have not taken the time to do so. The sound controls are not very good. The major drawback is it came with Vista. Vista is a resource hog and has un-needed applications running. It took me a day to fine tune the machine.

At $679, this computer is a deal. Get it from Circuit City with free shipping. There is a $50 mail in rebate. That is the only drawback. Wish it was an instant rebate…

Here are the specs on the laptop:
• AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60
• 160GB hard drive
• Built-in wireless 802.11bg
• 2GB of DDR2 memory
• Burns DVDs and CDs
• Built-in webcam
