So I got some kind of earth explorer proggy. Looks like a game for a seven year old, but I couldnt resist the "Volcano simulator" it promised. That and it was less than 2 dollars. (Anyone remember the paper boy from "Better off dead"?)
Got a thing for volcanos. Couldnt get it to run under xp yet...stupid thing has to install quicktime - even I dont think the simulator needs it. Dont expect much from the simulator - might have to design my own...perhaps with the hl2 engine.

The gripe writer strikes again.

MIR - mail in rebate...

How many people out there hate these as much as we do?

How many times have you sent one off - never to hear back?

How many times has one gotten rejected?

Really - why the hell isnt this stuff electronic by now? The bank transaction is electronic - and instantaneous. The bank reduces your available cash as soon as the card swipe is approved.

Why cant these dumb shits automate rebates. I have seen more instant rebates these days, but thats not enough - they should ALL be instant! (Especially on a freaking internet purchase...)

Sheesh
