20 years ago I joined Slickdeals: Jan 7, 2004. (I'm pretty sure I browsed earlier, but never created an account; I think my first deal was a Palm IIIxe.) I don't comment a lot. But I browse multiple times a day. I love this site. It has been so important to me. Thank you for 20 great years!
A few memories:
Circuit City $5 video game clearance of July 2004:
https://slickdeals.net/e/28785-huge-circuit-city-game-clearance?v=1
I got a bunch of gamecube and GBA games that I still have today.
My first HD TVs, including a sweet plasma that won't die:

Of course a couple of TouchPads:

Then I posted a deal that got -16 votes. Since then though I've had a ton of great finds I didn't buy the touchpad deal though (was poor and in college and didn't have a need for one) but I have spend tens of thousands probably over the last 10+ years cause of the site. Glad you're here though and congrats on the 20 years!

I've got you by 6 months so I can still call you a n00b lol.
I joined over the Dell Axiom Windows CE PDA for $79 which did NOT ship
Pretty sure I found my way to SD because of a sweepstakes. It was something for Coty Cosmetics and had an addictive online game where you skied around a mountain or something. I came to SD for sweepstakes codes and stuck around for survey info and freebies. Never been a deal person.
Behind you by about a year.

Honestly, those early PDAs were very exciting. Windows CE coulda been amazing. Palm was a nice, clean OS. It's too bad iPhone steamrolled everyone because they never competed well enough.
i also lurked for months before i ever registered and even when i finally did it took years before i started posting much. my 2nd post was even a "deal" , although i know i it took a long time for me to find my way out of the coupons forum
to you and may there be many more years of deal hunting and sharing here in your future

Around that time I had an hp Ipaq that was pretty good. Used an external GPS puck and could have a real time driving application. Can't remember if the Axiom was an upgrade or not vs the Ipaq.
You are #8361 and I am #8814
Means roughly in 6 days SD at that time added 450ish users or about 75 a day.
It was a small crowd back then
