Back on May 21, I bought a 5-port Gigafast switch for $34.95 with a $25
rebate. Yesterday, Aug 11, I finally received the rebate check in the
mail. Took just a bit less than 3 months for the check to arrive.
Actually that's pretty good from past experience. I never did get a
rebate coupon for one thing I bought, and other people I know say the
have had to wait closer to a year for their check.
It really sucks. I thought the FTC was cracking down on some companies
for abuse. I read about Philips getting in trouble for taking too long
with the CD-ROM drives they sold. Looks like the abuse is still continuing.

PUNCTUATION - Apostrophe
Incorrect uses: (i) the apostrophe must not be used with a plural
where there is no possessive sense, as in ~tea's are served here~;
(ii) there is no such word as ~her's, our's, their's, your's~.
Confusions: it's = it is or it has (not 'belonging to it'); correct
uses are ~it's here~ (= it is here); ~it's gone~ (= it has gone);
but ~the dog wagged its tail~ (no apostrophe).

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included,
so I had to buy them again.
