Nah...the PC stuff may be lower than you'd like to drink regularly, but it all comes in glass bottles at least. The truly cheap stuff doesn't. :-:

I think cheep implies a certain value, and free holds no tangible value, so no. Maybe?

Agreed. Plus the AJAX stuff creates some new concepts that I don't fully understand yet. That's really my limiting factor. Otherwise the basics of repurposing sample code is a skill I have honed quite sharply.

I've often seen free beer have strings attached.

This is certainly true. No lower can one go than the $3.25 long island iced tea at one of the casinos on Freemont Street in LAS. Five plastic bottles with clear liquids (even the bourbon was clear!) and two drops of coke on top for color. It was a cup of very, very cheap alcohol. I could've cleaned paint or degreased a Hartz Fried Chicken restaurant with it. Instead, my wife drank almost two of them and I carried her back to the Bellagio.

Good times.
