ljplicease | Gift Card Round Up

It's June, which means it is time once again for my semiannual Gift Card Round Up™ (GCRU™). Some might cynically point out that the GCRU™ coincides each semiannual period with my birthday at the end of June and with Christmas, which I celebrate with my family. I can assure you that is a coincidence.

I am a happy System76 customer. They provide painless computer systems with Ubuntu pre-installed. I am looking to replace several servers with a single powerful xen based solution in the near future and will likely get it from them.

Southwest gift cards make a great gift, which never expire! On Southwest not only do bags fly free, but there are also no change fees! I fly Southwest domestically pretty much whenever possible for these reasons. Sometimes the price is a little higher, but when you factor in the mounting baggage fees that other airlines charge the difference approaches zero. Southwest also serves Dr Pepper on their flights.

B&H has pretty much all the photo equipment you could ever want. There are a few caveats, but their prices often beat or are competitive compared to other retailers, both brick and mortar and on-line.
