Monday Amazon Deals: A terebyte-drive, Mario Super Sluggers, KotH, etc.

[yendi]

The Gold-Box Deal of the Day is the Seagate FreeAgent 1TB USB External Drive for $99.99 (48% off). Yes, a TB -- an external one, at that -- is now under $100. I'll resist griping about the way things were when I was young, and we only had floppy disks, and hard drives cost more than a new car, and we walked uphill both ways in the snow, and we liked it.

The videogame Deal of the Day is Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii for $25.98. I suspect that playing this will depress me less than watching the Mets, so I might switch all of my baseball attention to this game for the summer.

For those who like the high-end remotes, there's a sale on refurbished Logitech Harmony Universal Remotes, with prices of up to 70% off. This includes their Xbox 360 remote, btw.

In DVDs, every season of King of the Hill is on sale for $13.49 a pop.

Finally (for those folks who didn't read LJ over the weekend), this is your last day to get a free copy of any version of The Star Spangled Banner. So go grab one!

Oh, god, how things have changed.

And yet, it remains true. My Best Computah Evah was the first, because it cost me the most in money and time and commitment all three (not to mention a bank loan, and the first plunge into serious debt) - but that was a dual floppy drive and no hard disk, because what in the world did I need a hard disk for? 'Specially when it was twice the price? I'd never need a hard disk, I was an author...
