I had been considering a 3DS, because of A Link to the Past, but was held back by price.  And I don't care about 3D.  I would probably have never used it. Now that they announce this, I may be able to get one.  Looks don't matter to me.  I would only really use it at home or on trips.  I think it is a good idea.

Thanks for your help.  I've never used ebay or amazon to sell anything.  I've only used craigslist a few times, and it can be an interesting experience.  I think I'll try craigslist for a bit, and then go to amazon if I don't get what I feel is fair.  For me, the goal is to get more than a trade-in would give me, but to sell the games for less than buying used at gamestop or somewhere similar.  I think that is what makes both parties happiest in the end.  The seller gets more return, and the buyer gets a great deal.  That's the goal anyway.  I'll see how it turns out in the end.

Thanks for the replies.  I'll look closer at Amazon.

I have a few Wii games that I don't think I will have time to play, or that I will miss if I get rid of them.  Where is the best place to sell them?  I looked at Amazon trade in, and they would only give $35 for Metroid Prime Trilogy, and the rest were $6 or less (pikmin 1 and 2).  Any suggestions on where to get the best deal?  Thanks.

I had the opposite experience with Best Buy. I was comparing price for a logitech mouse. At Best Buy, it was $60. Walmart was $50, and Costco was $38. So generally, I have found Best Buy to be more expensive, but it pays to shop around. Glad you found a keyboard you wanted for a better price.

I am a Mormon, and this is a common misconception about our beliefs. If the baptism was indeed done for her (and according to church policy, it shouldn't have been done), it doesn't make her "officially a Mormon." We believe the practice gives people a chance to accept the gospel as we believe Christ taught it. We believe that there is a time in the afterlife before judgment when people can still choose, if they didn't have that choice in life. So we do baptisms for the dead to give them that choice. It is still her choice.

Depends on the spider, and it's location. If it's by a door, I usually try to let it out. If it's big, fast, and nasty looking, I kill it. If it's too close to my bed, I kill it. If it's a jumping spider, I let it be. Jumping spiders are awesome.

It sounds like your controller doesn't like to vibrate. Check to see if you can turn off the rumble feature in the game options. I don't remember if you can or not on Wind Waker.

According to CPU-Z it's dual channel. It is only 4 gigs, but like I said, I had the same amount of slower ram on my old computer, and it scored higher in windows 7. I haven't had any real problems, but it just baffles me. I worry that my setup isn't reaching its' full potential. Could it be a (partially) bad stick? How would I test for that?

I got a new mobo, ram, CPU and GPU in early April, and everything seems to be running great. It has been a huge improvement over my old computer. The thing that baffles me though, is the 4GB of RAM (DDR3 1600) I got only rate as a 5.9 in WEI. My old 4GB DDR2 800 scored about 6.5. I know WEI isn't the best indicator of performance, but this difference confuses me. Any ideas?
