    I have one reserved to collect today.

    Does that mean that I will have to pay £179 and not £149?

    Have just found this on the Argos website:

    4.3 The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order apart from the following two exceptions:
    a) For products reserved online for store pick up or any other reservation service the price you pay is the price in store on the day of collection.


    Now I am well and truly fed up as it's gone up £30 :(

    Has anyone used the web cam with Skype and what do the people at the other end think of the picture they are receiving. My picture on my machine from my web cam looks good but my family I am Skype-ing say the picture they are receiving is dreadful, hardly worth watching.

    could you link people that link as on the normal link for the netbook it has now gone up to £179.99
    Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.
