In the Sunday paper recently I saw an ad for a Dell laptop.  It was on sale on line for $50 off the regular price.  But when I went to the link that was listed, it was not on sale.  Rats!  So, I went to the Best Buy web site to check their prices on that particular model.  And while their prices were the same, I did discover an ASUS laptop that was comparable to the Dell but $50 dollars cheaper.  So I went to Best Buy and purchased the ASUS.  Thank you Dell for planting the seed to buy a new laptop.
