Hey, kids. You really ought to take Lisa's advice about auctioning off the free gmail account you get just for being a member of this little blog. Since I'd already set up my account, I figured that it wouldn't fetch the big bucks. I scoped Ebay and noticed that INVITATIONS to gmail were going for $50+ because people wanted to pick their own usernames. I figured that an account with a decided-upon-username wouldn't be as lucrative. So...I put the starting bid at $15, with a But-It-Now price of $25. Less than 4 hours after listing the gmail account, it was sold. So...$25 for me (minus the small listing fee and the small Ebay commission...so...$20+ for me). Yay!

I wish I'd asked for more. Oh well. The moral of the story is, "sell that shit if you're not gonna use it." :)
