	Gee, you're awfully generous with his money.  :-)

	That would be a poor attitude (to say the least).  Seems to me it
can be handled like many other manufactures handle rebates.  Mail in a copy
of your receipt with the date clearly marked and they give you your rebate.
Simple.  Or perhaps like car rebates (I haven't had one but it can't be all
that complicated).

Flip side,
