So, as you might know the day after Thanksgiving in America is called black Friday, its a day when people go mad shopping for crazy deals, usually for christmas presents. Its called black friday because its the one day of the year that customers usually get a profit, through their shopping. I think it is similar to boxing day, not actually sure if i've got that right though. I never actually go shopping on Black Friday, as the stores are absolute madhouses, people fight over who gets to buy an automatic temperature gaged toaster oven for $2.35 off its original price, its ridiculous.
This year i did participate however. Not actually going shopping but i bought something for really cheap. My aunts company gets an employee discount on Mac products (don't ask me how, she works for a newspaper) and this year apple was having a few black friday deals. So my dad decided to let me pick up a brand new, 13 in. 2.2 Ghz processing, 250 gig hd, 2 gb worth of ram Macbook, sort of as an early gift before i go off to college, by summer of '09 (and because he hasn't gotten my a birthday present in i don't know how many years). I got a pretty good deal on it, not the best, but still mac products rarely ever go on sale so technically a $200 employee discount + $101 dollar BF discount is pretty good, especially when coupled with the no shipping cost.
I think got a pretty good deal, especially when i didn't even ask for a laptop
