Go ahead with the mail and initiate the transfer.
Then they will ask for $$$ to start it.

That would make someone's bank manager happy, maybe, but not mine.

Just $19 mil? Man, the economy sure has been rough on Nigerian spammers. I remember when they wouldn't be caught dead promising less than $100 mil.

I just bought another WD MyBook 1 TB drive; I love the product, but have to laugh at the packaging. I know they mean well, with all materials made of recycled products, but the sheer volume of packaging[^] is appalling. A simple box ( of recycled paper paper, of course ) would have done nicely, with maybe a layer of bubble wrap inside to protect against shipping shock.
I commend them for the effort, but I think it's time for a reality check.

Hi Roger,
I believe that you need to login to your hosting control panel->security->Security guard and set the security guard to Medium Level. At least thats what this page tells[^] me when I follow your link.
Best Wishes,

Dang! I thought it would be easy... I don't get this message when I use the link directly. Unfortunately, it's far too late for me to mess with the host control panel... I'll check it in the morning. Thanks for the info! 
My apologies to all who can't access the image; it's ghastly!
[EDIT] Fixed - it was easier than I thought [/EDIT]

What type of camera do you have? I counted at least 7 hot pixels generated by the CCD sensor in your camera. (The little white squares)

I do believe that those are not hot pixels, but reflections from the flash.
All these squares are on folds of the plastic or roundings of glass...

It's an Olympus E-500, and those hot spots are reflections from the flash off the plastic. It's an excellent camera, but my one complaint is that it has trouble focusing in low light. I had to shoot 4 pics just to get one that was nearly in focus. But of the three digis I've had, it's by far the best.

I think the issue is that they need to seduce people who are at Frys to not buy an Iomega ( which is itself a worthwhile cause )

Is Iomega still in business?
Actually, I had a hard moment there when I saw a 1.5 TB Seagate for about the same price. But I've had good luck with WD and bad experiences with Seagate, so I stuck with my first choice.

heh.
I bought three of them, and I love the molded plastic packing -- I just wish I could find something to use it for, rather than just throw it away. Seems such a waste.

My first thought was, "What wallpaper? I didn't see a computer in the photo." Then I realised that you were talking about the paper on the wall.

The worst case I've seen is one(!) ram stick being packaged in a huge box (20"x20"x8" or something like that) full of bubble wrap. Who packaged it? HP... Seriously. WTF????

So, if you run a packing plant, you can order a couple of hundred of them for the bubble-wrap, and get the memory for free!

If you've seen UPS/DHL/FedEx guys handle those boxes, you'd say otherwise. And what you see is nothing compared to what happens at the hubs.
We have first hand accounts of a student who once worked there, and we've seen pics from customers how some packages arrived... now everything we ship must survive a 2m free fall (packaged).
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

I know well what happens; I worked with a guy who worked at the Fedex Chicago hub through school. He had some interesting stories to tell.
But it's still extreme overkill, and further, this package fits inside a larger package that serves as a display rack. It's delivered on a pallet, shrink-wrapped and strapped. I've seen missiles shipped with less protection...
