No, silly, it's a TOY! I heard that somewhere.... oh yeah, I think it was YOU that said that!

Heh heh, heh!

I actually wasn't that impressed when I went and looked at them today. I might wind up getting one some day, but it isn't something I have to have right away.

Rebates AND all waiting lists used up....bottom line.

Comptroller Susan Combs, besieged with complaints from angry Texans who missed out on appliance rebates, is seeking answers from the contractor whose Web site and phone lines were jammed by consumers seeking the credits.

When I tried to go to the website it got hijacked by Bing.

I was finally able to get through on a different phone number than the main one listed that I found in a blog. Unfortunately I didn't find it until after the guaranteed rebates were gone, but did get on the waiting list. I have am having two new HVAC systems installed next Friday, so will be sending in my papers early in the hopes that once the waiting list starts being fed I will get my $800. I hope, I hope.

Need that money because I think my kids car now has a CV joint or wheel bearing going out, as well as I think I need to replace one of our hot water heaters. Man, when it rains it pours.

This kinda reminds me of that time a couple of years ago when Wal-Mart had their super electronics sale thing, and people trampled each other and people got killed in the rush for cheap electronics goods.

This is kinda like that, except it was for government cheese. And people didn't get killed because it was all electronic.
