You do realize that what doesn't sell at these sales gets thrown out, and not always recycled or anything? I did community service at a small thrift store in 2003. They had a giant pile of books that had been marked "unsold-destroy". In this were a ton of auto repair manuals. I'm a car nut. I asked, they agreed, I cherry-picked fifteen decent repair manuals and an issue of Cigar Aficionado magazine. The 12 car repair manuals sold for $107 on eBay. I kept and still have and use the other three. The autumn '96 issue of Cigar Aficionado went for $20 all by itself (Demi Moore on the cover). According to some of you, I should have let those things clog up a landfill somewhere. That $127 paid my electric bill that month and kept me out of the dark. Flame me if you must, but don't be surprised if I don't care what you think.

Interestingly enough, my Firefox 3.5.3 on XP Home did not have the buttons grayed out, but a fresh install of Vista Home on my Acer laptop downloaded the plugin and had it grayed out. A fresh install of Home Premium on my Asus also had grayed out buttons once the plugin forced its way in. I can't get rid of those without editing the registry. Yuck. Maybe I should put XP Home on my laptops. Oh, wifey's 7 Ultimate RC box has them grayed out as well. Annoying, to say the least.
