And there are a lot of options out there right now. $10 may be breaking the budget for some.Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731077453681263134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946414928332818297.post-36393215546470967892011-06-22T11:46:01.491-04:002011-06-22T11:46:01.491-04:00This seems a bit silly.
