Yeah, i had a similar experience with at&t and their magical billing systems.
Now, thanks to the internet, my LD provider is some small outfit out of kansas that charges a flat 3c a minute, anytime, no monthly fee, no connection charge and MAYBE $1 in taxes.

No, they do that because there is a shitload of dishonest video card and processor buyers who buy a product, get it home, find out that it doesn't overclock well, and send it back demanding a refund.
You can return a defective product for a return, with no problems. In fact, I've got an opto-write DVD-RW in RMA right now with them.
Now, the lack of return shipping is a bit of a bummer, but like they say, wal-mart doesn't pay for your gas when you go to return an item.
Nah, most of them won't rape on shipping. I've ordered off there from various vendors and each time, i've only paid $4.95 shipping (for priority mail at that).
Of course, I order 20 at a time, so that's not too bad

Get a well used P300, win98, 56k modem, 15" monitor, 6 gig hd for around $125-$200
Then use free internet access via AOL until you can find a suitable low-cost dial up isp in your area (for example access4less.net - $5 month - a big jump from your dsl / decent amd system scenario).
People in poor countries could also get a cheap pc, but the problem in most of those countries is cheap phone service (or phone service at all).
Apparently, in the last wired I read, they mentioned that chinese pirates were already downloading and burning these courses to CD and selling them with the rest of their "software".
Not a bad idea though, you could get an MIT education for the $5.:0

There's really only one site you need...

Even better is seeing that rainbow six game...in 2d.
So i'm thinking all you can do is walk-up behind someone and club them in the back of the head???
My 486DX-66 called, it wants its games back.

Sounds like a good business policy to me.

Used to be some great deals, but now it's just populated by folks who have never heard of ebay.
Tim,
Why don't you let you users donate thier FatCash balances?
You've already got the money, and since most people are in a giving mood already, they woulnd't be adverse to helping out...

1. Local Porn shop/strip club.
2. Local Best Buy.
3. Local Beer Mart.
At least that's where my $395 went when I got ripped off went. (and still haven't seen a penny in 4 years of waiting for court-ordered restitution)
Steven V.
so gosh, what did you do there?
:)
Twiddle your thumbs will all the free time you had not having to go clean up windows boxes?
Nice setup though. I wish microsoft great plains was that accomodating.

We use the same type of voting here in Mississippi.
Works great, and you can't screw it up.
You can though, leave a canadate blank if you want to. Especially if both canidates suck!
why wait though?
If my bandwidth bill was going through the roof, why would you even give them any time at all to desist?

Try ebay for your printer carts. Usually about the same price you'll find on these sites.

oh yeah, we forgot the "yet" part..

on point 2, why in the heck would progressive scan make the low resolution of the gba look any better?
Use epson printers, and buy your carts off of ebay.
$1-$2 black, $3-$4 for color.
Just can't beat it, especially when you can find an epson printer in a thrift store for $5.
But geez, if they ask for half of $25/hr, you really wouldn't work for somebody lowballing you that badly...
Steven V.
No need for that kind of expenditure....

So, return it, get the shrinkwrapped copy, then return the shrinkwrapped copy for a refund.
Easy.

Wouldn't that be better suited to an Athlon advertising campaign?

So I wonder if they used verisign to register the domain?
