So I got a package in the mail today....

[SWScorch]

Completely unexpected; I had no idea what it was. The return address was from Microsoft. What the hell...? I didn't order anything from MS... So I open it, and out falls a note: "Developers are important to Microsoft. Please accept our complimentary gift." Yeah okay, what did they send me, a Christmas card? So I look inside, and they sent me a free copy of Windows Small Business Server 2003! This is like a $500 version of their OS, and they sent it to me for free. (Couldn't sell it I guess ) I have no idea what I'll do with it... I considered selling it, but they have in large letters everywhere "Not for resale!" I guess I could install it on my FTP server, but that would be overkill by a lot...

That's why you sell a $400 paper clip with free SB server 2003.

Although, when I got my XP I never got the paper clip. I should have left negative heat.
