[muglo] Re: USB 250-meg Zip with 10.3.9--Again!

True, though, that's putting wear and tear on your camera (all the
plugging-in and unplugging)... and cameras already take a beating.

Anyway, that's not why I'm revisiting the forum. I just noticed that
FutureSlop has a 512 MB flash drive for "$40 after rebate", which
means that it's more in reality.

<rant>I don't understand why companies get hit with false advertising
suits/charges when they advertise an item for "$40 after rebate" when,
in fact they advertise the *before tax* purchase price, but then
subtract the full *after tax* rebate to compute the "rebated" purchase
price... that's false advertising... of course, we're still so
backwards in Canada that we haven't figured out that it's much more
efficient to have taxes built into the prices rather than separate,
thereby requiring a whole extra layer of retail bureaucracy (and, this
is _not_ government imposed... there are stores which now have the
taxes in their retail prices)... the collective drain on the economy
is huge... all to satisfy a few tax payer assho... <ahem>
nutcases.</rant>
