Congrats on stickin' it to da man, Stress. That's got to be a new bargain record for price/gigabyte. 11 cents! Now I'm pissed for not having the nerve to roll the dice.

Rat bastids! Play hardball. Tell them your lawyer informs you you have a legal right to claim both rebates and see what they respond with.

If you try to submit the rebates (downloaded from elsewhere, such as the ones I have) if your order was after the rebates were ...

I actually have a bug! It's probably only mine (but I've tried exhaustive isolation and can reproduce it but not correct it). At high FPS (1.33 GHz AMD, V5), AB'ing with a mouse button input overloads the sound in both software and direct sound settings. The effect is one of hearing too many copies ...
