*USO CARE packages for the troops -Thanks to everyone. We raised over $1,600!

Okay, I wanna donate but I want to be counted as being from FS/FT rather than OT or DC, can I do that? I've always kind of been the wild card anyway, I'm used to it ;) We don't have a whole thread over in FS/FT (YET), but I heard about this one so I headed on over :) Somebody PM me and tell...

Get Negative feedback removed on ebay $20

It's called BayCheck Pro, you can find it HERE. The Pro version is shareware, I paid for it about 2 years ago and have never regretted it for a second. The free version is feature-limited, not nearly as comprehensive... If you do a lot of trading on eBay I can't recommend strongly enough...

Win XP Pro upgrade for academic/students--$86.00 shipped

Homeschooling parents and students also qualify, although finding a source to get the software at a *super* discount is a lot harder the qualifying materials are easy to supply, just need a copy of the parent's approved homeschooling intention letter from the CBOE.

how to destroy a 20" trinitron monitor...
