Island in the Net by Khürt Williams

I looked through all the Black Friday flyers, not because I wanted (or needed) anything, but because I was helping find bargains for friends and family I knew were looking for specific items.
I ended up buying a heavily discounted blu-ray player that had been on my wish-list for some time. I assuaged my guilt by donating my three year old DVD player to my brother-in-law.
You can pledge to get rid of an amount of stuff equal to the amount you receive.
One of the first items I had purchased for my first generation iPod nano was a protective case from Countour. The case cost me $19.95 from the Apple on-line store and it was money well spent. Each time I accidentally dropped my iPod from a desk or have it fall from my pocket as I bent over to tie a shoe lace it's value was realised. This hard plastic case protected my nano from what would have been certain death.
Since I "upgraded" to a second generation (aluminium) nano I plan to do the same. SkatterTech has a great review of the Agent19 nanoShield. It's already in my Apple shopping cart. I will wait until Black Friday to purchase in case Apple offers any discounts.
