I broke down. Just ordered some new, cool wallets. After that handbag hit a few days ago I was jones'n for a new wallet with a strap. Love ebags and the cashback I get from ebates and my cc :) they're almost free, lol.
Funny story. One time I ordered a purse from eBags and they sent me a hard drive. When I contacted them, they were completely baffled because they don't sell hard drives and the warehouse they ship from doesn't stock hard drives. Yet there it was, a hard drive in a box from eBags with an invoice that claimed it was the purse I ordered. They said they had no idea what to do with it, so I should keep it. So I sold the hard drive on eBay and eBags sent me another purse.

These aren't too bad once you get used to them. Not great, but not "too" bad. Still writing though.

That is hysterical and baffling. And cool, free hard drive you could sell! Hope it paid for the purse!

Did you ever hook the drive up to see if it had any data? It might have had 1 Million in bitcoins on it ...
