I suggest you get your light bulbs while you can - I heard a rumor that they were about to be retired...don't want to pay eBay prices for them! We'll do our best to stock them while we can, but demand may get out of hand. EVERYONE wants a light bulb!

No kidding - in Australia, the European Union, Canada, California and a few other states and countries, the regular incadescent lightbulb really is being retired in a few years so you'll only be able to buy compact flourescent bulbs.... a bright idea to save the environment which actually isn't quite so bright. A serious discussion really could get started about this - I know, I've seen it. I for one am going to stockpile some incandescents when the retirement date draws near - and undoubtedly a black market (or should that be a bright market) will soon develop for these things!
