Note that these two listings are for the same place.  I've never
stayed there, but I've driven past it.  It's right across I-35 from
the end of the airport runway, so it is directly under the flight
path.  Doesn't seem like a quiet place to stay.

I was ready to flame him too -- until I took a close look at the

his posting and not seeing it he tried again (and again), and
finally they were disgourged today.

Now, if you want to rag on him for posting for sale messages in

It hasn't happened lately, but they used to have an aggressive
telemarketing department that was really annoying.  In my home and office,
I have multiple telephone lines.  Every couple of months I would get a call
from a pushy salesman, say no 4 times, then have him call me again on each of
my other lines.  Then go home to have it happen again.  Its like they were
just dialing every phone number.

My suggestion for restaurant is Fonda San Miguel at 2330 North Loop.  Their
phone number is 459-4121.  If you call them, they'll give you instructions
on how to get there.

They don't take resevervations except for parties of four or more for Sunday
brunch.  They serve interior Mexican food.  The food is great, I think it is
one of the best restaurants in Austin.  I highly recommend the Sunday brunch
buffet.  It is somewhat expensive, but awesome.  They have loads of fresh
fruit, custom made omelets, lots of various breakfast and appetizer dishes
and four main dishes.  They also have a wide variety of desserts.

The main dishes for dinner run between about $9.00 to about $20.00.  I think
that the buffet is about $20.00.  It is worth it though, it is some of the 
best Mexican food I have ever had.

If you want a fairly inexpensive breakfast downtown, I recommend Manuel's.
They are at 4th and Congress.  I recommend the ham quesadillas.  One
of the best things I have ever eaten, and only $1.25 a la carte.  Make
sure to go for breakfast though, they only serve the ham quesadillas
for breakfast.  They are good for dinner also, and less expensive
than Fonda San Miguel.  

Up the street, at 8th and Congress, is the Hickory Street Grill.  They
are primarily a salad and soup place.  They have an extremely long
salad bar, and some of the best soup in town.  They also have cornbread
and ginger bread and a soft serve ice cream bar.  All you can eat on all
of the bars is about $5.00-$6.00.  A sandwich to go with it is about
$2.00 more.  I highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich.

Other restaurants which come recommended from friends are the Taj Palace
at Highland Mall, for Indian food.  I've only been there once.  It's good,
but I don't remember it that well.  One friend of mine raves about
the Belgian restaurant.  Chez Fred has great desserts, but I would not
recommend them for dinner.  Make sure to go to Amy's for ice cream.

This hasn't happened for a long time, but a few years ago kids used to
come to my door a few times a week.  It was always the same spiel:

Kid: Would you like to subscribe to the Austin American-Statesman?

Me: I already subscribe.

Kid: 7 days a week?

Me: Yes.

The next day a *different* kid would come by doing the same thing. 
Apparently the kids competed for customers, and the newspaper didn't
bother to tell them who already subscribed.  One kid, upon hearing
that I already got the paper 7 days a week, said "Why don't you get a
second subscription?"

That's very interesting that Best Buy did that.  

My wife and I purchased a GE fridge from Best Buy last January and
put it on the six month plan.  We paid it in full at the end of
the six months.  There were no extra charges involved.

When the end of the six month "grace period" came near we did get a letter
from some credit / loan company (may have been ITT) asking if we wanted
to get a loan.  (Probably at some ridiculous interest rate)

Next time one shows up, ask him who he reports to.  Call this person up

other store's advertised price.  A local liquor store took out a nice
add with, among other things, 6-packs of Miller Lite for $.99.  When
the stores opened, the lines went around the building.  All the stores
had a moderate supply, which instantly sold out.  So the clerks referred
all customers to the nearest 7-11.  All honored the price, but remarkably,
the policy was changed within a week.  Imagine that.
