Chris babe, don't mean to devalue your $23 dollar total but I think you're  
giving these shoebox people a little too much credit...

Every retailer that advertises this box in this months issue of Goldmine  
makes a point of the fact that the box doesn't even come with the TRS  
disc!!!  (Well, everyone except Intergalactic Garage, that is.)  I guess  
they don't want their customers to feel ripped off when they get the box -  
imagine that?

So our total should really come to 
					$5.00 Total (Plus a cardboard 	 
						     fucking *BOX*!)

I realize there's 2 of these scam - erm - unofficial boxes out there so  
this may actually apply to the other one (i.e. "I may be wrong...")
But it's important that gaffans know that at least *one* of these boxes  
doesn't even come with the disc.

Just thought you should know that...
