Heres something interesting. Apparently the music industry had been naughty and charging too much for CD's, tapes and vinyl. There is a possible settlement in the works, and if it goes through, you could receive a check in the mail. But be forewarned: there are strict circumstances that one must meet in order to get their check. They are listed here. Please note, if you do not fall into this very narrow profile, you are NOT eligible for the settlement, and should NOT fill out the claim. You must answer the following questions: 1) Did you buy music? 2) Did you buy it at a store? 3) Was it bought within the six year span of January 1995 to December 2000? If you answered yes to all three of these questions (which one or at most two of you may have) then you are eligible for the settlement (a check in the mail with your name on it ranging from 5$ to 20$). If you did manage to be one of the lucky ones who meet this criteria, please fill out your claim here. If you would like more information on all of this hoopla, go here. while this all sounds like a joke, it is not. Seriously. go fill out the form and you might get 20 bucks. Too bad you wont be able to buy a CD with that money since CD's at Sam Goody still cost like $27. Based on the post about credit card applications by mail from maddox, Matt has decided to "officially fire the first shot in starting a [more organized] guerilla war mailing campaign [against credit card companies], and you can help." I urge those of you who receive by mail credit card apps to print the document mentioned in matt's 'inner rage post' and use it liberally. P.S. I got my laptop HD + RAM today. The hard drive seems to work, but when I put the Ram in, the computer doesnt even start up at all. Anyone know why this is happening?
