Don’t be alarmed if you suddenly find your kids voluntarily taking out the garbage, doing the dishes, cleaning their rooms, or actually listening to what you have to say. No, they haven’t been secretly replaced by do-gooder replica robots. They’re simply building up a little insurance.
You see, children around the world are making their lists and checking them twice as they try their best to stay off the naughty list. The way they see it, a holiday without Barbies, video games or LEGOs would be no holiday at all.

Being the avuncular man that I am, I agreed to take a day off from Warcraft, and help my nephew settle into his college dorm room. I was surprised to find his room already decked out with a bed, desk, sheets, bathroom supplies, and a microwave. I thought to myself, why does he need me? He already seems to have it all! One more look around and I found, a cell phone, a dvd player, stereo, iPod, and all sorts of storage bins and shelves. I started to think he was pulling my leg and the joke was on me. That was until he mentioned that we needed to upgrade his Thermaltake Soprano PC system.
Ah-ha. That’s why he called me…the man who can. Like Home Improvement’s Tim Taylor, I asked him, “Are you saying we as in "we" or we as in "weeeeeeee?” So, like any trusty IT guy, I told him Newegg.com is the place, for all the do-it-yourselfers, hard core gamers, students, small to medium-sized businesses types and that’s where we’re gonna shop. Newegg.com is known for their expertise on delivering the freshest technologies available and are in tune to what's hot and what's not. Their reputation, experience and industry have made it possible for them to negotiate the lowest possible prices on the Net.
I pulled out my laptop and typed in Newegg.com. No need for us to go elsewhere. Once we logged on, he was shocked to find Newegg.com’s selection of hardware, pcs and notebooks, digital cameras, games, and DVDs. My nephew said we should order a pizza but I told him that Newegg.com is so fast, easy and stocked with everything we’d need, there wouldn’t be time for food. I had to remind him, “Does everybody know what time it is? Oh yeah, what do we need boys? More power!” This is no Developer Tool Time upgrade.
We decided to purchase the sweet, Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard, Intel Pentium D 940 3.20 GHz processor, Corsair XMS2 RAM Memory, and XFX GeForce 7900 GT graphics card. I told him that if this system doesn’t do it, then he might want to think about getting a Mac. But being the PC freaks that we are, we decided go with our instincts. I told him that all of this for under $1000 using his Hard Drive, and Optical Drive from the old system, and into the new system, he’ll have the hottest rig in the building. For some reason, our experience reminded me of Home Improvement again. The one where Randy says, “Let me get this straight. Mark gets fewer rules because he's a dork, and I get more rules because Brad's a dork.” I’m pretty sure that I’m Randy.
Good thing Newegg.com has the latest technology, parts and products, along with product information, pictures, how-to’s, clearance items, open box items, combo deals, Special Items with gifts, Digital Services, and customer product reviews for a dork like him. Now, when he has issues, I can stay at home with my Xbox and he can just refer to Newegg.com with any questions or needs. He already noticed that Newegg.com is a Bizrate.com Gold Honoree. I knew that my work was done here. As I walked to the door, I told my nephew, "remember, if it doesn't say Binford, someone else made it.” We laughed so hard that I decided to stay, eat pizza with my little buddy, and troll through Newegg.com’s vast selection of computers and electronics.
On the East Coast, Elaine (from Seinfeld) was in love with the Wiz. Remember the blue-eyed charmer, with the seductive smile, who donned a cape and crown while dancing and shouting, “Nobody beats me, because I'm the Wiz! I'm the Wiz!" in an effort to sell cheap electronics? On the West Coast, our friend CJ loves Crazy Gideon, the insane, television smashing, electronics store owner who sells impossibly cheap electronics out of his downtown Los Angeles store.
