That's better than AOL's practices...send you a digicam and then charge you for it...WON'T let you leave their service unless you either cuss them out, threaten to sue, or give them a really good reason. |

By U.S law, anything sent to you unwillfully in the mail is yours to keep. You cannot be made to pay for it. ;)Lots of book and CD companies tried these tricks in the late 80's and early 90's, but people started catching on and this practice declined since. |

Why does this not surprise me about Microsoft? I am developing less and less respect for them as more and more of these incidents occur, what with their Palladium thing and all, makes me want to burn down their HQ :mad: ! |

I wish someone would send me a million dollars in the mail. Hey, maybe I could rob a bank and say "It was sent to me in the mail, so its MINE now by law!" muahahalol |
