My consolation for not being able to attend the AAPC this year…

I won a laptop computer powered by Intel Centrino Mobile Technology. Yep, that’s right. I am one of three grand prize winners in the The Weather Channel “Wireless Freedom” Sweepstakes. I won a computer valued at $1500. Unless, of course, I am being scammed, in which case, I will soon not have an identity.

Yesterday Megan called me, and she said… “YOU WON! You won.”

Of course, she had no idea what it was even about, or that I had even entered such a sweepstakes. And it took me a moment to recollect it as well. I was just checking the weather one day, and there was a place to enter to win a computer. So I put my info in. And promptly forgot about it. This was some time between Dec.9 and Dec.21.

They want to list the winners on the website tomorrow, but I don’t know if they’re actually going to do that or not. We’ll see.

Buy yeah… brand new laptop. Sweet.

We went to the library last night, and there was a big sign that said “Wireless HOTspot”, and I was like, “YEAH!”. hehe…

I don’t have any specs on the comptuer (except that it is powered by centrino, which means it includes an Intel® Pentium® M processor, Intel® 855 chipset family, and Intel® PRO/Wireless Network Connection Family), or have a single clue about when it will ship. But, I figure at 1500 bucks it is a good, midrange lappy. I’m hoping I’ll be able to watch DVDs on it. Save my back from carrying the TV up and down the stairs!
