Not to go off on a tangent here, but I just had a funny thought. In response the the countless folks who pop up here, every so often, looking to the "secret" to a cheap/free/no effort degree.
It reminds me of my mom. My mom is so cheap that she actually COSTS herself money. She is the type who will buy the $29 off brand DVD player that breaks in 6 weeks. She will replace it with the $49 off brand DVD player that also breaks in a few months.
Finally, in frustration, she goes to best buy and buys the $120 Sony DVD player that she should have bought in the first place... she had gone with the off brands to "save" money.... great job, mom, $80 gone from my inheritance.
