  - I suspect we'll see some crazy deals this year as they want to make room for the 4K's that are coming next year. -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 08:55 2

STIS: Does anyone know a way to make the chrome browser show the notification bar at all times? - Krusty Nov 16, 06:40 10
- Does this help? -- (link) - mara Nov 16, 07:06 1
  - No, since I meant on their mobile browser and not the desktop version. Sorry, I should have been clearer with my post. - Krusty Nov 16, 07:12
- What do you mean by "notification bar" because a web search for that term doesn't return a consistent answer - TWuG Nov 16, 07:03 7
