The one major concern I have with Steve's offer is the required year committment. It seems like it has the potential to make many lives on all sides of this unpleasant if things don't work out, for whatever reason.
Rob's suggestion does sound like it's worth looking into. I lack knowledge in that area, so I'm happy to leave the final decision up to others.
Also of the opinion that Kristen shouldn't refund us. We've been way more of a PITA than $20/month can cover. You've more than earned it.
Okay, as a side note?
I'm dying to know why Kristen doesn't have time to read her torso. Why not? What's written there? Do you have to use a mirror, and if so, does the writing appear backwards?
This is so embarassing. It's from something I saw on TV. But I'll be damned if I can remember what show.
Okay, it's almost noon and I'm starving. I'm going to Taco Bell.
I'll email Steven when I get back and let him know you guys aren't interested so we're passing on the offer.
ita, did you see my earlier post about taking out the explicit closes?
I had not, and now have, Kristen, so I'll yank them in a little and report back here when I have.
Huh.
So Steven might be able to extend the offer. [ETA: Apparently, his reason for the deadline was the RAM prices being all over the place and him having a solid price from his supplier that had an expiration date.]
He's also willing to throw in another 512 MB of RAM and another hard drive.
This is unexpected.
ETA: Cool, ita! I just had this idea based on something that someone, Rob maybe, said about closing the connections. I'm not actually sure I can articulate it but it makes sense in my brain, if that makes you feel any better.
