Yes it's from Fark, but it's really worth a read.

Makes me wonder if that surplus store had any more of those cheap 16 meg drives?

Hmm, interesting and where I can get said surplus drives and program?

Microsoft jipped me on the freebie saying they already exhausted their stock

Actually, it's funny when I go to client sites some of them have "high" security. They photocopy my driver's license, get my license plate number, take down the serial number of my laptop, etc. But, they just shrug when I mention the 1GB USB flash drive I have loaded to the gills with every useful program imaginable. Then again I typically have at least local admin rights on the computers that we are install software on.

I got the same response. Did anyone actually get one?

I got screwed on that MS one as well.

Yup. I especially like the part that the offer was only open to people in the US. It made it sound like I was located in Eastern Mongolia.
