I am going to start working on my video now. My office so needs one of these. Heck right now we need everything. Giving away any chairs/couches too ?
on Mon, Apr 28th, 2008 at 04:16 PM
how are the winners selected? base on how bare and empty the work space looks, etc?
on Mon, Apr 28th, 2008 at 04:17 PM
The winner be selected on various different things.
But no a bare space may or may not produce a winner, a messy space might or might not.
I suggest to be creative and give us the best sob story ever!

This machine is gorgeous, I just watched your unboxing video. It looks HUGE

I am a student and i strongly need it
Chris the remote is actually outside,i think it is not inbuilt on laptop
we can use it externally i mean it is not attached.
I saw it in one of the videos.

I’m about to buy this “sleevecase” for my HDX. Anyone have any experience with these? It looks good to me, but I’m open to suggestions.
