I was in a good mood, but now I'm in a horrid mood. Such is the price I pay for spending ten minutes around my parents. Oh well. C'est la vie, I guess.
Anyway, about two or three months ago Micorsoft started sending me email messages intended for Windows XP resellers. I usually deleted them, and planned on unsubscribing from the list at some point, but never got around to it. Then, on a slow day at school, I read one of the email messages. It directed me to a site where resellers could sign up for a free XP promotional kit. Today my "Micorsoft Windows XP Professional 'Go Pro' Collector's Kit" arrived, complete with aWindows XP Bobblehead, Windows XP baseball, Windows XP baseball cards, Windows XP Big League Chew, and a free copy of Windows XP Professional. I only ordered it for the copy of XP Pro, but the Bobblehead is pretty funny. And the whole deal was free, which is pretty cool as a full copy of XP Pro is quite expensive.
