My Western Digital Rebate finally got here after 12 (TWELVE!!!!)
WEEKS!!! This constitutes false advertising. I had multiple E-mail
interchanges with them in the meantime. I am quite ticked off about

my 80GB WD hard drive from Best Buy (who I have found to be good on
their in-house rebate promises).
