I usually buy my dot Mac (oh yeah, it's Mobile Me now - blech!) subscription renewal on Black Friday, although last year it wasn't offered. If it's offered again this year, I'll renew now - otherwise I'll wait until my renewal is up (in March - thanks to the 3 free months subscription we got) and buy from Amazon.

Also looking to buy an Airport Express. I can normally buy at the Navy Exchange and save 5% on taxes. If they offer it on BF so that it's cheap enough with taxes to be cheaper than buying at the NEX without taxes then I'll get it.

My Macbook is only 1.5 years old and my Mini only 7 months old so no computer replacements for me.

I'm getting to the "day of reckoning" myself as far as .Mac goes and it's time for me to wrestle with the decision to renew it for a few days like I do every year. Of course, in the last few years I've wrestled with it up to the due date and then found out that it had renewed while I was deciding, so who knows :-)
