Maxtor was one of the first HD mfgs to jump on the mail in rebate band
wagon.  They sent me nice little green cards letting me know they were
stiffing me on a bunch of rebates for drives I had bought for a project.
Screw Maxtor and anybody who owns them.  I bought six drives and never
received one rebate.  I did get six green cards.  To this day I specifically
shop for products that do not use mail in rebates as part of their marketing
strategy.
