Evidently, the only pilots doing this nowadays are Palm pilots. A Florida woman was surfing on eBay and saw an engagement ring on the site. It had a starting bid of $75,000. Curious to see such a pricey rock, she waded through the description and found a proposal -- to her -- from her boyfriend. She accepted and didn't seem to mind that her ring only cost about $12,000. Her beloved had listed the minimum bid at 75 grand in order to turn off any serious bidders. Everybody together now, "Awwww!"
