Only peripherally related to this topic, but I just gotta tell somebody...
I bought a software utility (Drive Image 2002) on eBay for $9.99.
It arrived today in a sealed, retail box (with a $99.99 price sticker on it) and inside the box was a rebate coupon for $30. Amazingly enough, the rebate hadn't expired (5 days to go) and I actually met all the requirements for the rebate.
Maybe sometimes there IS such a thing as a free lunch!
