Just hold one in your hand and look at it! Check the price tag! It IS true you don't always get what you pay for but is this really an example of that?

PopPhoto tested them (June 2000) and wrote: "These are simply the biggest new advertizing account and source for continued revenue we have taken on for a long time."
