[geeks] Sun-HOWTO

[Ken Hansen]

I frequently order items from Staples.com, and I add
throwaway items, like a 16 cent box of paperclips to
meet a dollar limit for the coupon ($25 off $200, but
I want a $199.95 item)...

Almost every time, the paper clips come in a large box
(the size of *my* shoe boxes, size 15), seperately
from the item I wanted!

I almost feel bad for them sometimes...
