    Announcer: And now back to Money Quest, on HBC.

    Host 1: [Camera zooms in on the two hosts] Welcome back to Money Quest. [Kyle looks at the show] In just over two weeks, young financial genius Eric Cartman [his picture appears on the screen behind the hosts] has managed to turn a theme park that was seeing less than a hundred attendees a day into a thriving park with attendance in the thousands.

    Host 2: And the way he did it is with the brilliant "You Can't Come" technique. For the first several days, the young businessman saturated the market with the claim that nobody could get into his park. It made the public crazy. So then, weeks later, when he opened the doors, they were lining up around the block. Simply amazing.

    Host 1: Well, ahah I thnk we should point out that this technique is already being applied by businesses all over the country.

    [At Gracy's clothing store, a sales associates barks orders...]

    Host 1: Amazing. Eric Cartman is surely the financial genius of our time.

  6. cost less than $100? on Simple-to-use ZigBee Hardware · · Score: 1

    Do these modules really "cost less than $100?"

    Digging around the MaxStream.net site lead me to this page:
    http://www.maxstream.net/products/order-developmen t-kit.php.

    It looks like the lowest costing kit is $149. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Also, if anyone wants to know where they can purchase a Zigbee transceiver module for $79.95, you can buy them here:
