If you wanted to get software, would you not at least ask to see if someone could get it for you at a discount? If none of the MS employees on here want to do that fine, but let them speak for themselves or not say anything at all. No need for you to answer for them imho. Cheap MS products are the least of my concerns...tell me Mitchel do you know what all my concerns are? Don't think so...so no need for you to
I won't pay 60 dollars for an HDMI cable. But I won't make a fricken post on a car forum asking if any Best Buy employees can save me a few dollars with my hand out either.

You're not seeing the difference between shopping around for the best deal and asking someone you don't know to "hook you up".

As far as speaking for the employees of MS are concerned, I think I've been spot on thus far.

Ofcourse I don't know what all of your concerns are. But I'm willing to wager that "Money" is towards the top of the list in bold letters with an asterisk next to it.

I'm not quite sure what kind of dog Aston is..a MUTT!

He ended up getting them repaired because he couldnt get ahold of the guy he bought them from.

lol! awww..that's okay. mutts statistically live longer. poor pringles is 11 this year, and he's purebreed. um...he's also a bit er....chubby, too. hehe!

we prefer to call him "husky or portly" or "athletic build". =P

matt's lucky! todd used to be able to bring his dog to work when he had the limo/detail shop. and yes.....that dog was as...."athletically built" as pringles....for those of you that have seen pringles...you'll know what i mean. have you ever seen the hindenburg? lol!

he's been going for a walk every night after work. walk...because a job would push him over the edge! and...he is on a diet. no red met. only turkey, pork, fish, and chicken.

Instructions....

Type www.google.com into your browsers "address box".

Click the tiny blue link called "Preferences" next to the [Search Images] button.

Go the heading called "SafeSeach Filtering". Select the radio button, "Do not filter my search results".

Click the [Save Preferences] button at the end of the page.

You will return back to the "Image Search" page.

Type "rim" into the box and hit [Search Images].

Thats all you need to do to learn that a rim isn't just a car accessory.
