I have looked at tablet computers with an eye toward buying one for quite a while now and a deal that I don&#8217;t think I can pass up just showed up&#8230;amazon has their best Fire 10HD tablet on sale for 80 bucks for the next few days when it is normally 150 bucks and at that price, I think I can justify splurging on myself&#8230;I can get one with 32 gigs of memory and no ads on the start screen for 95 bucks&#8230;the reviews said it was a screaming deal at 150 bucks so I wonder if it is a double screaming deal for 50 bucks less?
