Costco's great, but really--you shouldn't be buying a telescope at Costco. The amateur astronomer in me just had to say...At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I have a good friend with one and he likes it.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Postdon't knock those small laptops. Was it one of those $400 deals? I am really into those and want to get one. I am still trying to decide which one I want to get. I see no need to ever buy another big laptop again since I only use them for internet, email, and word/excel."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Ahhh...well, the amateur voyeur in me says "two thumbs up on costco telescopes!".Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostI live in a densely populated area.

Wait until you are riding <redacted> on Cassandra. You'll be yelling then. I will give you the helmet, though.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostI know. I was just looking for an excuse to yell at you.
Our costco doesn't sell telescopes.
Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

If you had some sort of sidecar, I would actually be completely willing to entertain this idea.Originally posted by nikuman View PostWait until you are riding <redacted> on Cassandra. You'll be yelling then. I will give you the helmet, though.
It could be our version of Easy Rider. Except at the end we don't have to be horribly maimed by passing rednecks. Also, we would stop in Houston because we both have to go back to work on Monday.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I haven't seen the netbooks that Costco is selling, but Dell has some decent deals right now.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Postdon't knock those small laptops.

I just upgraded my Qwest internet to a higher speed, and they're selling me the $299 Dell model for $199. It should be a fun little gadget to have around.

Inspired by this very thread (and one other), I told Mrs. PAC we were going to Costco for FHE. We just returned, having bought a few things, but we passed on the telescopes despite the strong temptation to stick it to DDD. On the way home, we stopped by Trader Joe's and picked up some steel-cut oats. I'll be whipping up a batch in a few minutes that will take me through the end of the week. One of our finest FHE's in several months, and I owe it all to CUF.

We're hosting a tailgate at the SDSU game for 76 people. Sounds like a good excuse to me to get one of these!Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostAlso, I don't know why, but every time I go to Costco I feel the overwhelming need to purchase one of those large ice chests with wheels. I don't know when I will ever use it, but I feel like I should own one."It's true that everything happens for a reason.
