And seemingly really nice stuff for cheap

I like to use Tiger Direct and New Egg depending on what part I'm looking for and I compare prices between the two.

And sometimes Tiger Direct actually has more stuff, too. I just have a deep-seated hatred for them ever since they sold me a broken laptop in 2003.

See that **** scares me and its why I still like hitting up Big Box stores for my computers. They need to make computers with a label that reads:

If you do the follow activities, this computer is good for you:

I haven't ever used Tiger Direct, but Newegg has a great return policy.

Why can't you access it?
You might want to see if (you'll have to use firefox for that) there is a script for greasemonkey to get around stuff. Google it

.
But again; I'm not sure why you cannot access it.

Correct if I'm wrong but if a country blocks your access to Youtube and Facebook there isn't really anything you can do to get around it right?

I mean I know proxy sites sometimes help but not when the country IP blocks the sites.

Greasemonkey.
I can watch top gear vids on the top gear site even though I shouldn't be able to.
