I am a couple of digests behind, so please forgive me if someone has
already mentioned this one.  I just received a pre-recorded call from
some organization announcing a drawing for a free trip to Hawaii.  In
order to find out more, all I have to do is call 1-900-999-4500.  The
recording stated that call will cost me $5.97, and that I can enter
the sweepstakes by sending a postcard to suite address in California
(sorry, I didn't write it down :-).  Neat way to defray solicitation
costs.
