Well, one of my new goals for 2003 is to get as much free stuff as I can. I've got some ideas that I'll be exploring sometime in the future, perhaps even on the blog. :) For now, I'm sticking with rebates and attempting to get stuff through reviews. I'll keep tabs on the free stuff I get, alerting all of my ever-so-avid readers of free things that they themselves can get.
Now, it is always good to remember that the “free” in the online deals is actually free except for shipping & handling. So, for example, the Free USB Wireless Adapter is free at PCMall, but you still have to pay a minimum of $8.72 in shipping in handling.
I also want to keep to the idea that I don't just go out and get all the free stuff that I can, whether or not I really need it. I'm going to try to set my sights only on those things that I actually can use. There may be a few things here or there that slip in, though.
