That's a brilliant overview. Here is the gem you wrote... <i>What would be nice is if the site emailed you product upgrade notices/new models/online operating manuals for the product you register, which could be sent a day or two after you list your warranties. A spider crawl through the site and semantic searching could communicate more information about the products you store with them, as payoff for taking the time to register.</i> And that's exactly correct. That would be a value add service. Good idea man. Ted. That’s a brilliant overview.
