lsandersonI've two letters for rebates ready to mail off. One, from Symantec, was reasonably painless to assemble, except for ghod knows what reason, they put some kind of bar code beside the UPC barcode so that anybody could easily confuse them.
The second receipt from Circuit City, on the other hand, listed a few impossible things: UPC code from the packing materials -- check; the serial number from the packing material -- uhm, ain't none, and logo from the packing material -- uhm, there's five. And they list a website and a phone number, where I actually got to speak to a live human being! I was so shocked, I almost said, "Press on to inquire about..." Anyway, her list of requirements did not mach the list from Circuit City.
