| At $79.97 + $8.17 shipping, this seems like a good sale.

| Not available in the B&M stores.

| The sale ends today.  I've ordered one.

A Dell deal-of-the-day caught my eye.  Looks better than the
TigerDirect deal.

Dell is selling TRENDnet's TEG-S224 "26-port 10/100/1000 MBps Gigabit
Ethernet Switch" for $59.99 today!

Sounds good, but...  Reading the fine print, only 2 of the ports are
gig!  This sure seems like a misleading headline.

(Last week Dell offered a portable hard drive with a headline saying
USB 3.0 but the fine print showed it was only USB 2.0.  So it happens.
Make sure to read details when buying.)

(UPS says that the 16 port switch I bought from Tiger Direct has been 
delivered to someone in Illinois?!?!)
