The article said "Free"
The first screen I got from the link had a cost. I backed out and went back in-it came up free the second time. Think it was a software glitch?

I still think it should be sent out to stores for pick up. The request asked for billing info as well as the shipping info (info mining?). It also will not take PO boxes in the address line. Nor did it recognize the city where I live (and it's a big one), so I had to actually put in the nearest one with my zip code to get it to take.

How many people will get frustrated at all the glitches to get the patches?
