RE: Freebox - what's the catch?

["Keith Doxey" <keith.doxey@xxxxxxx>]

Had a look round the site.....

when you click on "apply" a new window pops up with no buttons or
menu bar.
the first line of the instructions reads

"Instructions to get your Freebox: It's simple, print out this page,
fill in
the form, include a cheque for just £10, payable to Freebox, and send to
the
following address:"

Most people will get stumped there because there isnt a "Print"
button on
their browser. I wonder if that is a ploy to seek out people who know what
they are doing!
