[Rusky]

I found this program that tells me what my bios is, in order to help me upgrade it. Then it has this neat-o feature that lets me submit the info online and someone finds the update and emails it to me. So I think that’s cool/easy/I'm way too lazy to do it myself. After a few days I get the email saying:

Vitaly,

I was like well that way easy, so I give them a call and he guy was like yeah it was a newly released update and that will be $49.95. I asked him, "You're telling me that I am paying you $49.95 for about 5 seconds worth of work of Googleing and doing a search/download?” to which he of course said some BS, which all meant yes.

Meh, what can I expect you can't have anything free in this damn country

I also saw the 40 quarter collection on an infomercial for a low low $40. That's right, you can buy $10 in quarters for only $40! BUY NOW!
