This seems like the best place for this post. I'm going to rub it in a little. My father in-law is a data security exec for a large financial institution. He goes to a lot of seminars, meetings etc. with microsoft, and they let him shop in the employee store recently. Between freebies and purchases totaling a whopping $15 USD, I now have retail versions of XP pro, Office 2003 pro, streets and trips 2004 (use for my job), and a portable MP3 player. !!!!!!!!Lucky me!!!!!!!!
