Community News

The countdown is on until the start of the online Boxing Day sale!

Sale starts December 24th at 8pm EST.

If you’ve been hanging around the Community for a while, you may have noticed a few changes in the last couple of days.  In order to better align the naming and organization of these boards with what we present to our customers on the retail site, I’ve renamed several boards and moved some around. 

As one of the Tech Yeah Community's longest standing members, Snapshot has been hanging out with us for over 4 years now! In relationship terms, things are getting pretty serious. We're shopping for rings. Speaking of shopping, Snapshot is the woman you want to talk to if you are in the market for a new TV, or a camera, or really anything. She's a 2-time Shout-Out Award winner, a mega Roxette fan, a Community Ambassador and can help you calibrate your TV.

Who is Snapshot?

Today, we’re learning who vhillel is.  We know he’s been a frequent poster in the forums for over a year now, that he’s an associate at our Boucherville Future Shop in Appliances – but what else? Well, he’s also very much into Madonna, the early years. I must admit, I was a bit surprised to learn this, but that’s what makes this community so great! All the unique people who make it up

But really, who is vhillel?

Look! It's mtrump. Or at least, it's mtrump's vision of himself.. if he were a dog. I asked him for a picture for his "Who is" profile and he sent me Snoopy, aka "Joe Cool", which makes sense because, as he put it, he loves Snoopy, he was born in the year of the dog, he never goes outside without sunglasses & he predicts that as he ages, he'll begin to look more and more like Snoopy.

mtrump has been hanging out with us for a very long time, he joined the Community in 2007 and has been one of the most consistent members throughout the years.  He's answered well over 1,000 questions, made the honour roll a few times and has even been repping as a Community Ambassador.

I think this picture has provided more insight into his psyche than any of the answers he provided, but if you're still curious to learn more, read on!

Hello MayA200!  This is a timely introduction, as I'm please to announced that MayA200 has recently been invited to join the Community Ambassador team.  He's been active for about a year and a half in the forums and has proven himself to be quite a valuable member on our Computer & Laptop Hardware board. He's frequently gracing the weekly Honour Roll for his contributions and general helpfulness.

We know he knows computers, but what other piece of technology can't he live without? Read on to find out.

Here’s a beautiful portrait of a fruit basket adorned with flowers for you all, apparently this is the appropriate gift for this milestone. Personally, I’d prefer jewelry or a car, but I won’t argue with tradition.

Four years worth of help, tips, stories, blogs & gooood times!

Sometimes you just need a change.  Thinking about a new haircut?  How about trying out a new avatar!  We've recently added a new group of avatars to the Community, so take a look and see if there are any that inspire a change

Well look who it is! It's Evan_F: everyone's favourite (and most handsome) newcomer of the year for the 2011 Shout-Out Awards!  He only started participating in the community a year ago, but has quickly become one of the most consistent and respected contributors.  A frequent member of the Honour Roll, he's always helpful, friendly and goes out of his way to make sure the question gets answered.  Officially, he's an entertainment associate, but unofficially, he's knowledgeable and active across many-a board throughout the Community.

I was forced to look up 2 words he used in his "who is" answers... one of them isn't even in the dictionary, so I still have no idea what it means. But, if Evan says he's full of marple, then I'm inclined to believe him.

If you've spent any time hanging about the Tech Blog, you'll be no stranger to the name trishussey.  Tris has been with the blog since we launched 2 years ago, covering many-an-Apple announcement during his reign (like this, for example)!  He's sort of man-about-town, jack-of-all-trades type fellow, plus, he's a published author! So the guy knows about stuff, so we best get to knowing more about him!
