What tp buy in America?

Am going to America in a few weeks on business.
I want to make the most of the exchange rate and buy some stuff over there.
Any suggestions on what might be particularly good value at the moment?
Am currently thinking about a Sony camcorder (about £700 in the UK), and perhaps Windows Vista Ultimate. Will probably also buy a laptop (I generally buy one every time I go over, bring it back and use it for 6 months or so, then sell it for what I paid for it.)
Of course, I know all the issues; such as £145 limit on gifts, and potential voltage issues. But am not overly concerned by them.
So....anyone got any advice on good buys at the moment?
Cheers,
Don

Windows Vista Ultimate
If you do buy it over there, write down the code on a postcard, maybe disguised with additional letters, and post it to yourself, leaving your allowance for something tangible.......I doubt a postcard would be classed as having any value.
Its the same disk for all versions of Windows Vista......the code unlocks the features that youve paid for.illegitimi non carborundum0
