A Jasper In The Box!

I don't know if this will help anyone looking for a Jasper, but it worked for me. I printed what Transman (clan member) and the net told me to look for. So no matter what, with my crib sheet, I couldn't forget.

I have a Jasper Xbox. They are hard to find in the "Pro" and don't exist in the "Elite" as far as I can tell. Best bet finding one is the "Arcade".

This is what I did. I came armed with a friend, a small but really good bright flashlight, paperwork to help me with all the dates, barcodes, watts, etc...but this is the important part. Go to Walgreens or a Barnes & Noble bookstore, and pick up a pair of those magnifying reading glasses. Try a few pairs on and read the card on the side to help you see the strength you'll need, like 1.50 or 1.75. Trust me on this, a hand held magnifying glass is a pain to use for this. With glasses you'll have both hands free--which you'll need--for the flashlight.

To make things easy, I tell the store clerk what I'm looking for. Otherwise, they want to throw you out of the store for acting crazy. You take that flashlight and pull the opening as far to the side as you can. (Don't damage the box. It pisses off the store manager.) A little shake to shift the weight to the side helps, too. (Just don't shake too hard. It might cause RROD!) With your new glasses on, you'll see all the small numbers with no problem. I went through twenty boxes in two shipments before I found one. Be persistent and don’t give up, they’re out there.
