netgear deals eh... and Anagram Crackers in my soup...

Top Comparison Site Rankings:
1. Shopzilla Listings... compare 28 givers 2. Shopping.com Listings... compare 26 givers 3. Become.com Listings... compare 12 givers
4. NexTag Listings... compare 14 givers 5. Smarter.com Listings... compare 16 givers 6. PriceGrabber Listings... compare 31 givers
The Online Reviews:
1. AMAZON... 2.5 stars... only 2. CNET.com... 4.7 user rating... A. Manufacturer Page

... just cuz you need a netgear wireless adapter doesn't mean you should get overly pumped on this particular netgear wireless adapter... though the deal seems super hot, especially considering what netgear wireless usb adapters go for on the comparison engines these days, check the reviews... amazon's netgear wireless adapter reviews aren't that great... and cnet reviews are pretty weak also... couple that with the "refurb" tag... and we're in trouble... i just finished watching thelma and louise for the 200th time (big anniversary for me)... and i gotta say, i liked their solution better... no thanks on the netgear wireless adapter woot!... next time, perhaps.

HAHA! Thelma and Louise??!?! Classic. But I do concur, driving off the grand canyon seems so much easier than taking this woot. Thanks for the tip.

based on price alone, its obvious... but i'm gonna weigh other arguments more heavily (i.e. reviews and such) starting now... that's what the peoples want... so that's what the peoples gets.... i suppose.

You consider that spyware? I use alexa all the time. Its quite a valuable little tool. Finding related sites, seeing the history of a site you like, etc. Really good stuff. I was glad when she posted about that new toolbar for firefox. Maybe i'm the only one. I trust alexa.
