17" powerbook from Amazon + $200 Rebate
The link is here.
The weird thing was that I called my local apple store to see if they would
match the price & the guy said that legally Amazon shouldn't be running that
promotion. What gives?

Sure - rat them out and spoil it for the rest of us...
My powerbook is supposed to get to me around March 7 from Amazon with free shipping.
My 7100/66 is on it's last legs but I'm still amazed that I've been using it for
10 years!
I was checking online for a 1gig ram sim & the best deal I found was $236
at Memory to Go. They're listed above Macsurfer's website. Has anyone
had any problems with this company? The memory comes with a lifetime
warranty. I also found the same ram sim for $259 at TransIntl, $399 at Ramjet,
& $479.90 at Crucial.
Also, does anyone have more specific release dates for the Epson R1800
Photo Printer & the Canon Eos Digital Rebel Xt? All I heard was March.
I cannot friggin' wait!!!

If amazon can deliver just as quickly, why not cancel your current order since the Apple Store refuses to match the price? And how can it be "illegal" to offer a rebate?? I thought that was what the free market was all about!
I did end up ordering from Amazon. Another sweet thing that I realized
afterwards was that I don't have to pay sales tax as well. With that & the
rebate, this powerbook is costing me $2361!
on Friday Feb. 25th. Damn I love this notebook!
Quick question though. I was going through the manual & it says that when
you hook up a phone cable to get dial-up, do not hook it up to a digital
phone line. There's a chance of frying the modem. Is there a little portable
device that I could buy to check the line before hooking up the laptop?

Did it come with any budled software? - iLife etc.

A digital phone line would be like office lines and maybe VOIP lines / Comcast Digital Phone. If your phone service is provided by a Baby Bell and the phone only receives calls for a single number then you can be pretty sure it's an analog phone.
