    What's this free thing?

    So far so good with my scan order (however ebuyer's incompetance means I can't build the system 'till they send me my case).
    I recieved some blue thing free in the order and I have no idea what it, can anyone shed some light?

    All I got was a £3 keyboard.

    Well, at least it's a nice gesture.

    More useful than a Bluetoth adaptor for a PDA you don't even own!

    The whole point is to clear out old cheap crap no one would buy anyway.

    I once got an Alcatel adsl card. Not much use with my cable modem. Still, I guess it's cheaper than sending it out to a landfill.

    You're not the only one. I got one of them about a year or so ago, its now used as a not-very-heavy-or-secure paper weight to keep all my receipts and invoices under control.
