Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

Sniper! thought Gemini Dominic as he dove to the floor. Got to save everyone! With steel-hard legs, conditioned through years of battle, Gemini sprinted for the only thing he knew could make a difference. His partner, the Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz.

Only once chance! Gemini thought to himself as he began the leap. His powerful arms arched like a falcon on the racquetball court, bringing his Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz in front of the bullets.

The first shot tore through the 17” WXGA+ LCD with XBRITE-ECO and 1440×900 native resolution. Gemini could swear he heard the Built-in 1.3 megapixel MOTION EYE camera and microphone scream in pain. It was worth it, old buddy, I promise. The first bullet came to rest in the 160GB 5400rpm SATA hard drive. Gemini stood firm, the second would be close behind.

When the second bullet hit, it ricocheted off the 1GB (1GBx1) PC2-5300 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Good grouping, Gemini Dominic thought. I wonder if I know this guy? The bullet exited through the NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GT graphics processing unit with 256MB dedicated video memory. Gemini turned on his heel, Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz at the ready. He could see the face of the assassin now. He could see there would be more shots coming.

The sniper pulled the trigger again, and again, but Gemini Dominic was ready. His Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz moved like lightning, despite the installed Vista operating system. The assassin had prepared himself, prepared his weapon to rip apart the integrated HDMI port that allowed for easy connections to an HDTV. But Gemini was no fool. He’d been expecting as much. The assassin’s eyes filled with fear when he saw the Thermapak Laptop Heatshift Bag and Pad in Gemini’s other hand.

Bullets went wild. In precious seconds, Gemini Dominic reached the assassin. His training had paid off. And now it would only take an instant. And now it was over.

Gemini looked down at his Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, lying in pieces. “Well done, Mister Dominic,” the soft voice came from the corner of the room. Gemini didn’t need to turn to know who it was. But he turned anyway. Just to be sure. Who it was. There.

“You stopped the assassin, Mister Dominic,” said Babylon Gentry, the shy-but-complex CIA agent assigned to handle all the paperwork and occasionally get the smoothies. “But maybe the price… was too high?”

Gemini smiled. “This Sony VGN-AR605E VAIO Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz has taken a lot worse, Baby. That’s why they call it… refurbished.”

Babylon Gentry covered her mouth in shock. Gemini Dominic smiled fatherly. She’ll be one of the best… one day.
