1. i pay you $75 to buy osx tiger on ebay

2. i refund your money.

If your auction said it had Tiger, those sound good. If it didn't...

I think $75 is too generous. Try $50.

Hmm, interesting. Maybe this is how I will finally get me an iPod. Not sure I know 10 people willing to go through that just so I can get an iPod though

Hmm, for the iPods it's www.freeipods.com. However, if you want to help me out at the same time, refer me by copying and pasting this link: www.freeipods.com/?r=12445445

Hmm, I reckon the ol' NN doesn't want me to advertise me'referring code. But, umm, it's not like I started a thread to advertise it. I'm merely telling besson3c where to go
