Well...they weren't getting anything from me either way. I just wanted about $65-75 worth of stuff. Some iPod and HTC cable bits to adapt my new phone to ipod dock stuff. Maybe a bluetooth->RS232/TTL module. I'd love to get into Adruino, but don't have the time. I still haven't found time to set up rsync/backups at home.<br>

</div>Bad PR... If you don't want to give the money away, don't make the<br>
offer... Plus, I bet that a lot of people would have ordered more<br>
than $100 worth of merchandise. I was going to order approximately<br>
$140 worth.<br>

<br>
</div>Neither did I... Now I likely won't be ordering anything...<br>
