Thanks for the tip! I have roadrunner, but removing the ads definitely speed
things up. And I hate the beta too, and disabled it awhile ago. It just
can't be customized to show me what I want to see all on one screen, plus it
was running like a dying dog. I will be very unhappy when it goes live.

Agreed. But it still sounds like a lot of time and gas (trip to the bank,
trip to the coinstar machine) to make $10, and it's a gift card at that.

Anyway I figure we have the PERFECT government for the idiots that put
it in place. I'm going to LOVE the next for years. Why you ask because
I LOVE to hear idiots whine...

Listen and laugh at the wimps whining about the very people they put
in office. Then watch their envious eyes as I ride my motorcycle and
they have no car (reposesed) no house (again repo'd) While I still own
two houses. Might even shoot a few that try to steal anything I own.
Talk to the cops and get off before it even goes to court as
justifiable.
