I don't normally look at DVD deals in this space, but there are good prices online. Amazon has the Love Boat season one, volume one, for $26.99. When I was young I liked Gopher, but now I think Captain Stubing is hilarious.
1. Today's deals are aimed at the last-minute Father's Day shopper. If you're feeling generous, go for the HP G60-230US notebook. NewEgg.com has it for $449.99 after $50 mail-in rebate, and it comes with free shipping. This notebook is loaded with a 2.0GHz Intel dual-core processor, 3GB RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and a big 16-inch screen. It even includes a LightScribe drive, perfect for dads who like to burn CDs and DVDs.
2. Was that last one a little too much to spend on Dad? I hear you. How about this: NewEgg.com is selling a Microsoft Zune bundle. You get a 30GB first generation Zune plus a kit that lets Dad play his Zune's songs over the car stereo. You can get all this for a low $99.99. Dad doesn't need to have an iPod; he'll be cool with this.
3. What? That was still too much? You say you'd like a gift that looks expensive and techie but is actually way cheap? Got it. Buy.com is selling the iRobot Looj gutter cleaning robot for $39.99 and it comes with free shipping. Even better, if you pay using PayPayl you get $10 off instantly, making the price $29.99. For that Dad gets a cool robot tool and the illusion that you paid a lot of money.

That capt'n is quite a piece of work, isn't he? :D
In other news, I don't know if I dislike my Dad enough to buy him a Zune. I mean really. The robot would probably go over better!

Thank you for your funny and supportive comments these past few days, Alan, regarding the captain and his crew. Your note yesterday made me LOL.
