It'd be nice if they had 100$ discount for christmas when they say 
they're having 1.0 out in December.  Just an idea.  It'd get the

You'd get alot of sales at the last quarter.  Then next year will be 
hell because the boss man will complain how every month's profits are 
less than December2003.  So never mind....
