Usenet/NewsGroup Deals!

- we got the same $5/month deals as we did last year for 50 connection unlimited accounts from Highwinds resellers, but the quantities offered were far less (and thus they sold out much quicker)
- there were a bunch of hot block deals, but again lower quantities compared to last year
