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.
Kristen, please don't take offense -- Steven's been great to us, I know -- but he's starting to sound like a used car salesman.
t edited to add
I mean he should just make us his best offer. I don't think we should have to haggle or threaten to walk.

Huh. I don't think so. I'd grateful he might be able to extend the offer.
