I remember something about using sniping programs on ebay.  I don't see one 
now, but the only other time I would have perused the rules was in late 
2000 (I was using a PC in Sensors Lab, which was fall semester of 2000) 
when I had to retract my bid on an AMD Athlon 650 chip.  Or, perhaps it's 
just my lack of a 100% comprehension and long-term retention rate. <insert 
rolling eyes smilie here>

"Always" and "never" are incredibly powerful words: use them with care. ;)

Respectfully,

Mark Broker
