This week I received a rebate for a 24x CD burner that I purchased.... in 2002! I remember when I sent it in they said I didn't include the UPC code. I didn't have it anymore because I sent it to them. Fry's wouldn't let me make a copy so I thought I was SOL. Weird thing is that the date on the check is also 2002...wonder if I can even cash it. I don't see any expiration date on the check, but the last thing I want to do is get charged $25 for a bad check on a $30 rebate.

I thought checks (cheques) expired after 1 year.
