Is there mention of it/link to it on the OWC site? When I first heard about it weeks ago, I searched the OWC site and didn't find it. I eventually got an invitation with link.
I just looked again, briefly, and didn't see anything about the forum on the OWC front page, tech support or customer service.

I just got a new one last spring. My old one had been lost for several years. I had to fill out a form explaining the context in which the old one was lost. It would have saved a couple of minutes to have had the old one with me.
One other issue was that they _required_ an official birth certificate. They would not accept one that didn't have the official seal, even though it was an origin

I believe a critical issue is whether you have a state income tax or not. If not, then it's pretty simple to decide that the sales tax deduction is worthwhile. If you do have a state income tax, you gotta do the math. For me, it's what Shadow said, particularly since we have a 6% state tax.

Rice and water in the casserole dish. Couple of chicken breasts on top, can of cream of chicken soup on top, spread some pinneaple chunks around. If you want to really go for broke, sprinkle around peas and/or corn. Cook the whole thing for an hour at 350. Takes a couple of minutes to prepare and is remarkably good.

I did it a while ago on the 3 cell phones in our family. If is was a hoax, I would assume we'd be covered up with phone calls by now and that hasn't happened.
I vote "real."

Be sure that the installers don't just nail/bolt it to the house. They've got to have spacers between the deck and house to prevent rot.

My daughter has been using her phone at college for 4 months with the bill coming to me. I called Tmobile before we re-upped and they told me it wouldn't be a problem.
However, I remember reading some tiny type at Cingular that said they could cancel your account if you spent too much time (I don't remember what too much was) outside of your billing area. I think the "I moved" mo

I'd probably run it behind the baseboards where I could and then do a minimum depth rout across the doorways. One other possible option-if you put down hardwood, you could rout a small groove in the backside of the hardwood strips and run the wire through it, again across the dooorways.

We started our kid with cash and then added a VisaBuxx prepaid card. We got her the card at 14, and she's still using it in college. It costs $5 per year to have the card and there are no fees to load it if I use my bank account from the same bank as her card. There is a $1000 limit on the card.
Over the years, it was stolen once and she lost it once. In both cases, it was cancelled with

You might want to check the manufacturer's web site and see if they have some special procedure for saving it. I imagine it depends on how long is sat in the water in addition to the basic substrate of the laminate.
