Green marker... geez, I haven't heard that one in a long time!

I love how some companies can charge top dollar for Toslink cables. "Your zeros will be more round, more natural sounding... your ones will be crisper - giving you the detail you demand. You know, I bought a printer cable for my um... printer and it has gold connections on it. It is the "premium" cable. You should see the results! My word documents have that depth that can't be obtained by standard printer cables.... I'm glad I didn't waste that money on better paper.

Why don't companies own up and admit that the only good that gold does is reduce corrosion?
