Thanks, it was a little too boring looking for me.

Now if only they'd sell out of those sleeping bags already!!!!:angry:

Actually, I hope they last a bit. I have a meeting from 2-3:30 and am concerned that I may miss something good! If they by any chance come up with skis, K2 Crossfires or Atomic Metron B5 to be exact, be a pal and order me a pair in the 170+ range, thanks :)

Something tells me that they'll still be here when you get back...

Now if Bvibert could link the item description and picture to his sight, I'll never need to go to the site unless i want to buy........;)

Did TB help you with that disclaimer?

I thought about adding the picture, the thing about that is that I would have to link to the picture on their server which would use up some of their bandwidth without them getting the benefit of folks visiting their site. It's probably not a big deal in this case, but it's generally considered poor netiquette. The description on the other hand wouldn't be a big deal.

The disclaimer I came up with myself, though I did think of asking TB for his opinion. ;) I was wondering if anyone would even notice it...

Couldn't you come up with a way to cache the image to your server?

I'm sure there's a way. I guess that's another thing I'll add to my list... ;)

I'm still trying to figure out how to format the description and the price so that it looks good... And Andy's request for sound, which may be difficult unless you're running IE...

How about a pop-up instead??

B, just kidding with you. However if you truly wanted to do this, no, I believe a sound file would be better. My reasoning behind this is, I'm home, watching TV and I don't want to sit in front of the PC. If a new item comes up, a sound file would inform be, unless of course you can program this to give me a call :) So, do you think SaCaholics Anonymous is a good idea :) ?

Maybe I could set it up to call your house and cell, send you a text message, send an email, and interupt your TV signal.... ;)

Seriously from what I can see there is no standard compliant method to play a sound without using an outside player like WMP, Real Player, or QT. I'm not too keen on that since I couldn't get any of my attempts to work on my old laptop at home using Firefox.

So, do you think SaCaholics Anonymous is a good idea :) ?

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. The question is; Do you want to recover, or are you just looking for others to commiserate with? ;)
