Thanks boris_cooldude for suggesting this ASUS deal at Staples. This is what he had to say:

Staples here (in Vancouver; all of BC i guess) has the ASUS 1000HE on sale for $399.96.  It has the potential of up to 9.5hrs of battery life, wifi N, etc.  I have been keeping an eye on this item and so far this is the cheapest I have come across (cheaper than NCIX, Anitec, A-power).
Cheers

I had a look at Staples online and the Asus EEE PC 1000HE Notebook PCs seem to be on sale for around the same price in Ontario and most provinces too (just a few bucks more). This is a spectacular laptop and for this price it’s a steal. However there are a couple of things you need to be aware of. First of all the monitor is only 10″ which I personally find too small. It’s very handy when travelling but for day to day use I’d go for a larger screen. When buying the laptop from Staples make sure it’s the new laptop not a refurbished one and keep in mind that they have 2 different keyboards: US and Canadian. If you type in English only I strongly recommend you get the US keyboard. If you type in English and French then get the Canadian keyboard.

This Asus EEE PC 1000HE Notebook PC deal is available at Staples Canada online and in-store. Deal ends June 16th, 2009.

One of my personal favourite entries was by monkeyincowtown:

Well Boo you’ve opened up a real treasure trove of memories for me with this one! I’ve worked in the service industry for many years and I have countless stories I could tell. However, there is one man in particular who was the nastiest, rudest customer I ever had to serve. Worse yet, he was a regular so I and my fellow servers would have to serve him many times a week. I was working at a very high end restaurant in downtown Vancouver. This man would come in several times a week. He drove a fancy Ferrari, which was always valeted out front, and quite often wore some sort of matching Ferrari clothing item ie: shirt, hat, gloves. Therefore my fellow severs and I referred to him as “Mr. Ferrari” (only amongst ourselves of course, never to his face) So anyways, Mr. Ferrari had man”charming” things that he did. When I asked him how he was and how his day was going he would reply by barking his drink order at me. No niceties for this one, he really could not be bothered to listen you. If I happened to approach his table when he was having a discussion with his powersuit buddies, he would bark out that I was not to be listening to his conversation and make me stand 6 feet away from the table until he was done talking (sometimes I would be standing there for 5 to 10 minutes! (more…)

Spend $50 (before taxes) or more on almost anything in Shoppers Drug Mart on June 6th or 7th, 2009 and get a $10 Shoppers gift card in return!

*Offer valid on the purchase total of eligible products after discounts and redemptions and before taxes. Excludes prescription purchases, products with codeine, tobacco products (where applicable), stamps, lottery tickets, event tickets, transit tickets and passes, electronic gift cards, Life Experiences® packages, prepaid phone cards and Shoppers Home Health Care locations. Not to be used in conjunction with any other Shoppers Drug Mart promotions or offers. Offer valid Saturday, June 6 and Sunday June 7, 2009 only. Coupon will be accepted until June 28, 2009. While quantities last. See cashier for details.

From Jun 6th – 12th, if you spend $50 or more on these gift cards at Shoppers Drug Mart, you will get 5000 bonus Optimum points.

Participating gift cards are:

– Cineplex Entertainment
– Vanilla Prepaid MasterCard
– Cara Dining Card (Harvey’s, Montanas, Kelsey’s, Milestones & Swiss Chalet)
– Chapters, Indigo, Coles Card

I’m unaware if you can buy a Mastercard, get 5000 points, then use that Mastercard to buy another card and get 5000 MORE points, etc. etc. etc. – but if you can do that, this is a pretty good way to earn SDM points quickly!

I think there may also be some kind of fee for the Mastercard. $3-$6 per $50 card… but correct me if I’m wrong!
