Works both ways: I seem to remember a thread wherein Sun actually made
the first release of Solaris Express available to *anyone* inside or
outside the program; accidentally, natch. Also Philips on their website
about a year ago accidentally offered a digital camera for 99 GBP
instead of its MRP of 299 GBP. After several hundred were sold, and the
mistake noticed, the website was corrected... Take gifts when you can,
and don't regret gifts missed, or gifts to be.
