    Windows Live One Care - $9.99 at Circuit City B&M

    Paying Microsoft for a program to fix problems caused by the holes in their own operating system. Classic. No wonder Bill has Billions. No thanks, I will stick with the Adaware, AVG, etc.

    Panasonic 50" HD Plasma $2250 at Sams Club B&M

    A panasonic EDTV plasma will give you a great picture with SD & even analog cable, especially compared to an HD set. A 480P DVD looks fantastic on the EDTV. I have an HD RPTV and love to watch the little HD programming I have, but I watch 90% of my DVD's and SD programming on my EDTV plasma.

    Cingular Pre Paid SE T237 Phone $30 Shipped!

    [q[/b]. Just out of curiosity, lets say the ebay sims are not refillable. Does that mean that when that card/sim expires, a new one (with the same rates, *if* available) would need to be purchased? Would that, in turn, mean that the phone number would be different with the new sim? So, a...
