Home Full, 199.99, Home Upgrade, 99.99. Professional full, 299.99, Professional upgrade, 199.99." Perfect timing -- Fwis writes: "Use your power as a consumer to Boycott XP. The site is now functioning smoothly, and we invite you to log in and participate in discussions, polls, and news stories related to Microsoft's release of the XP line of products." There are some interesting links on this page if you (or someone with purchasing power at your company) is considering XP.

    I would like to formally announce that I am boycotting the Audi A8 sedan. I feel that its list price of over $62,000 is entirely too high, and that it would be advantageous for consumers to buy a more practical sedan.

    I would also like to announce the establishment of an Internet petition to urge Audi to stop selling cars. We as consumers cannot tolerate this excessively high pricing scheme!

    Don't make me bring Ralph Nader into this. You saw what he did to Al Gore. Just wait until he starts fighting against corporations.
