1 $50... i stopped buying this stuff... after i've plunked down $$$ and have it become obsolete within a year. I don't know how I was able to have a hobby like this for so long... :(

I have nothing out right now. But I have received every rebate I've ever sent out.

maybe because the reason you (and I) end up in credit card debt is because half the rebates never come :(

The last rebate I ever got was in around 97 when I spent some ungodly amount of $$$ on a RAM upgrade. Actually the rebate came in 98. I'd written it off completely, but it did actually come almost a year later. 10-11 months I think it took...

I'll never purchase something due to a rebate again. Hate em.

None right now, I don't think. Just got $30 back earlier this week for a hard drive I bought for my brother on my credit card.

Same. Database works well for keep track of the information (wrote a rather simple one for myself).
