a) A maximum of two per household.

b) The 'coupons' are good for $40.00 towards "approved" converters
(which supposedly will be in the $40-70 range).

c) Even though called a 'coupon', they physically look like credit cards.

d) They expire 90 days from the date the government puts them in the
mail to you.

e) "Coupons", even though you can order them now, won't be sent out
until mid- or the end of February, as they say the 'approved' converters
won't be available until then.

Any other questions?

That's very precise. I think I got it now. I'll be watching for
those coupons. Just one question. Who do we order the coupons from?
I know I'm seem illiterate. But I don't watch that much TV so I
haven't really paid a lot of attention to the whole conversion plan.
