New Gadgets
I purchased and activated a SPOT Satellite Instant Messenger today. The cost of the unit was $149.95 at Big 5 Sporting Goods on Viscount. I told the manager that I was with the El Paso Ridgewalkers and he gave me an additional 10% off the retail price. If you are considering the purchase of a SPOT Satellite Instant Messenger, please go to the Viscount Big 5 Sporting Goods Store and tell the manager that you are with the El Paso Ridgewalkers and you will also get 10% off the retail price.
