>>>This, my friends, is all I know about how to save money from, and swindle, Staples.com<<<

I'm glad you said it, before I did. You must be very proud of yourself. Congratulations.

Most of your info was very good, and would help a lot of people...too bad it went downhill towards the middle of the post. Encouraging people to pricematch dissimilar items is a little over the top, don't you think? :(

justincase...all you do-almost all the time- is crap on somebody else's thread or post. Cant you just take a break from living life on someone else's edge?
Take it easy, now...life is short and you dont want to spend all of it thread-crapping.

Anyone in the Portland, Oregon area get one of these?

If so, which store?

There are some (over 700) 3com officeconnect cable modems on ubid right now that are selling for 41. ...and no I am not a F*$@$# trying to fluff an auction. The only thing is that 3com discontinued all their cable modems so beware of no support if you buy one. ...or just wait till the end of Feb when @home cuts off service to millions. THen you will be able to pick up a used one anywhere for cheap.

out of curiousity, were you charged a provisioning fee to use you own modem and reduce the monthly bill by $10?
i remember someone mentioning in DSLR forums that they provisioned their own modem thru a website, and attbi wouldnt do the $10 reduction until they charged the guy some amount, even though it was already provisioned and working.

Justincase~ not only do you crap on people's threads all the time (this is the second time for me) but you also do it in a very public way instead of just PMing me about your comments.

I said right up front that this was "only for the very patient (and slightly unethical) person".

I also said "Don't bother to flame me about this, if you have a moral objection, I understand... I should too."

All you contributed to this thread was 1) a negative voice and; 2) saying, "Yeah, I know Epsil0n already acknowledged that this is unethical, but I think it is unethical too."

Why you feel the need to crap here, when I already said all that needed to be said, is what I want to know. It seems like you enjoy 1) seeing your name in print/hearing yourself talk and; 2) crapping on people's threads.

*i could have just PMed this message to you, but I figured that I would humiliate you in public. Enjoy. :|

Didn't you make the suggestion in "public"?



<< I said right up front that this was "only for the very patient (and slightly unethical) person". >>


That makes it more palatable?



<< I also said "Don't bother to flame me about this, if you have a moral objection, I understand... I should too." >>


This approach works for you? Appending "Don't bother to flame" to something you (seem to) already realize shouldn't be condoned?




<< All you contributed to this thread was 1) a negative voice and; 2) saying, "Yeah, I know Epsil0n already acknowledged that this is unethical, but I think it is unethical too." >>


A person with better judgement wouldn't have posted that in the first place. I'm surprised the MODs didn't react.


<< Why you feel the need to crap here, when I already said all that needed to be said, is what I want to know. It seems like you enjoy 1) seeing your name in print/hearing yourself talk and; 2) crapping on people's threads. >>


You had a good post, then you went too far, turned it into a toilet. People crap in toilets.

Hey guys,

I installed this modem and it's working great with ATTBI in the Chicago area. However, I misplaced the rebate form and can't find it anywhere. Can someone post a link to it, or a scan if possible?

Thanks!

You'll find the rebate here but I think you have missed the date to send it in, it had to be postmarked by 01/15/02.
