Those rebate things piss me off. For example, while traveling recently, I bought an MP3 player with a $20 mail-in rebate. Since I was on the road, I didn't hang on to the packaging. Now I read the fine print and they want part of the packaging as a "proof of purchase." My receipt apparently isn't enough. Now, I'm sure someone when figuring out the cost of the program figured in putting in some bullshit so that they could refuse a certain percentage of the rebates. Is that honest? It's not what I call honest. Trickery isn't honest.
