- I heard someone else mention this briefly before, and I didn't
- understand what they were talking about then, but it seems as though
- AT&T is offering customers $40 to switch to AT&T. I received a mailing
- from AT&T, and I was immediately annoyed by this check-looking thing I
- saw inside (it looked like one of those things that are usually marked
- 'You may already have won'). Strangely enough, this was a real check
- for $40 made out to me, marked 'Endorsement indicates your acceptance'
- or something like that. Anyway, I guess the deal is that if you cash
- the check, you agree to switch over to AT&T. I'll take $40 over my MCI
- totebags and Sprint AM/FM radios anyday ...
-
- For $40, I'd switch my _mother_ to AT&T.
