I don't order from places that I can't read. Plus, just because 20 dollars shipping is good compared to regular, doesn't mean 20 dollars shipping is a good deal. :P

that's too bad because I ordered from a place I can't read and I'm typing on that keyboard that I ordered right now.

There's an option of Didja's SIIG MiniTouch (Sealed in a Box), only 9 left and I consider it a very good price.
Often outspoken, please forgive any cause for offense.
Thank you all in GH for reading.

Rip, you mean $20, not %20. It only brings it down to 109, not great :(

I'm really mad, I would get a Blackwidow since Razer is having a sale but it's backordered, I would get it in like 3 weeks. If I'm buying now I'm not waiting 3 weeks just to get it.

OK you Americans - why do you call it Black Friday?
In the rest of the English speaking World Black Friday is a Friday the 13th.

my understanding is that "black friday" is so called b/c it's when most retailers start to go back into the "black"...that is when their net profits turn positive from the red (negative).

That's what I always thought, but I didn't realize there was an alternate meaning that was around prior to the current one. From Wikipedia:

Quote
The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black."
