Vern,

Most rebates must be claimed within 30 days of the purchase, and also have a specific deadline if purchased less than 30 days prior to the deadline date. I had some problem with Buy.com, finally raised enough hell and they took care of the rebate. I strongly suggest that anyone doing business with them make a backup copy of your rebate form, reciept and bar code tag. That's what saved my butt, plus I sent it registrered mail to boot.

Uncle Dave, if the 5.1 does not work with the keyhoard, I'll hook it up to the TV in the family room. However, I sincerely believe it will be awesome!
