Hello Maurice!

29 Nov 06 16:36, you wrote to me:

 RC>> You mean through his self professed galloping dementia?

and how do you discern his musings from when he is lucid and he is not?

So what, he shares your hate of a GUI, he also fishes his computer equipment
out of the garbage, its not like he can afford computers that have the
horsepower to do a gui.

 RC>> I just saw a message from him to ALL, this AM, whereas he talks
 RC>> of having a rare lucid moment.

 MK> I know how he feels.  I can relate.

So how do the other posters really know when either of you are being lucid, I
mean no offense in the construct of the question but how does a mad man know he
is insane?

 RC>> What you refer to is simply the dealer not referencing the
 RC>> rebates in their advertising or point of purchase signage. The
 RC>> rebates will still be there.

 MK> I have no idea as I never buy that stuff.  I only refer to what I've

 MK> originally suspected about those so-called deals.  A complete waste of

No what I said is the dealers you talk about will simply not point out the fact
that rebates would exist in their signage or ads.

 RC>> I will reiterate, the rebate money is not your money to begin
 RC>> with, it is money the mfr was/is willing to send you for buying
 RC>> their product providing you follow their instructions to get it,
 RC>> since it isnt your money to begin with, dont send off for it.

 MK> They can keep it.  I personally don't care as it isn't my concern.
 MK> They have squat imho.  My neighbour has been kept busy with that junk
 MK> lately.  At least someone is getting the benefit without having to
 MK> deal with the manufacturers of these inferior products.

Wayne related to the fact that his Western Digital HDD had a rebate that he
didnt submit for, was that hdd an inferior drive?

Sandisk, a well known and very reputable manufacturer of flash card memory and
USB flashdrives offers rebates on their products, I'd hardly call their
products inferior.

Hewlett Packard, routinely offers rebates on their products, including printers
and scanners, I'd hardly call them inferior. Although jury could be out on
their desktop and laptop computers, depending on who you ask.

Maxtor, Seagate, Lacie also, I'd hardly call their products inferior.

Motorola, a premier name in radios and cellphones offers rebates on their
products, again, not inferior.

Kodak, Nikon, Vivitar, Canon and Olympus routinely offer rebates on their
digital cameras, I'd hardly call them inferior.

Oh and every car manufacturer (Foreign and domestic to our continent) offers
rebates.

A rebate doesnt mean inferior products, I have debunked you.

In your case, just save your stamps.
