Black Friday holiday deals abound
Here in the USA, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Untold millions of fowl now are in repose chilled in refrigerators awaiting brining and basting.
So-called “Black Friday” follows Thanksgiving Thursday, the term “black” referring to the first profitable day of the year for many retailers (“in the black”). The web is filled with deals on Black Friday, a few that are outstanding, some just hype, and most in-between.

Here is a shopping cart with all the goodies I recommend in general (ignoring the holidays).
Mac Pro or MacBook Pro or even recent iMac users will appreciate a second monitor for palettes and the like. The Acer 24" LCD looks like a perfect fit for such a use (I haven’t used it myself).
See my review of the QX2. Get 8TB of fast and reliable storage for just $899 after $120 mail-in rebate. I recommend running the QX2 in RAID 5 mode, which allows one drive to fail without data loss, just turn the switch to set it, that’s it! The QX2 can be used with Firewire 800, but I recommend that Mac Pro users also purchase an eSATA card for 3-4X the speed of Firewire 800. Get both here.
The Voyager Q drive dock is now only $75.99. It’s a great way for economical backups, and a outstanding tool for cloning a system drive, especially for laptop users or for upgrading your system (boot) drive painlessly.
