What is the main difference between Dockstar and GoFlex ? Dockstar has more usb ports then GoFlex isnt it ?

The main difference would be the availability and cost. ;-)
I wish I had found some when the Dockstar was $25 shipped.

Dockstar does indeed have more USB ports, but that can be solved easily enough with a USB hub on the GoFlex. Hardware-wise, as far as I can tell it's basically the same (1.2ghz ARM, 128MB RAM, 512MB flash), with the big exception being the SATA ports for the drives. Both are hackable. Software-wise, I think the GoFlex Net is running a different OS (at least I read that somewhere.... haven't looked into it much), and may have an extra feature or two. Tempting to get one of these and boot to a SATA HDD instead of booting to a flash drive. I had a hacked DockStar and the boot flash drive wore out rather quickly and I haven't gotten around to hacking a new setup yet. But it was nice having Asterisk support and an ATA set up for VoIP via Google Voice calls...

Buy it at staples, add a $25 off coupon, then call back to PM!

BAM!

Quote from dumpav : Buy it at staples, add a $25 off coupon, then call back to PM! BAM!

for a staples price match, don't you have to price match first and then apply a coupon?

i am afraid if i pm first, my amount is less then $75 so i can't apply the coupon.

Anyway, the CSR said put back $5x.xx back to my credit card! (i guess included the tax?)

The sharing device is $99 from Staples.
This is how the conversation will go:

"OK, so you paid $75 total for the sharing device, and I will credit you back $25 for the pricematch."

"Wait, the item was $99. I just used a $25 coupon."

"Oh, I see you used the $25 off $75 coupon. OK, well the pricematch goes before the coupon so I will bring the total down to $50 but nullify the coupon because your order is no longer $75 or above."

I've also PM'd with coupon successfully; several times. I've even added a filler to a $99.99 order so I could use a 25off100 coupon. Then gotten price match for the full difference in price. The trick is to have all the items in your cart already, talk to CSR and let them know you're ready to place order online, they'll set up a reimbursement, then you apply coupon and check out. Since the CSR didn't modify your total you still meet the requirement of the coupon.

TELLING the Customer Service Rep that you (basically) want to abuse their system is silly...

...So you simply don't tell them.

You completely missed the point. What a waste of that 200 word essay.
