Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I'm sure your order will be fine - my first order was shipped fast! Hopefully they'll answer the phone tomorrow or Monday. I did notice they didn't confirm my perscrip last month, otherwise they woulda known it was from 2008 Confused

They didn't ask where mine was from either. Don't think they care. I did read on the bottom that if you got a free pair in the past, you didn't qualify! Hope they fix it though!

ok so me and my wife both got our netbooks today. they are great. the 8 gig SD cards were a nice bonus. that is till i tried to use them. when you put them in netbook windows says you need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it. and when you click yes and try to format it it says windows is unable to complete the format. i allso tried both cards in 2 other computers same thing and tried them both in my camera that supports up to 16 gigs and it said card error on both of them .
called marlboro and thy said no one else has called about this yet . and because they were a bonus they cant do anything about it. but i bet if the cards from mine and my wifes are both bad almost everyones is if not all of them.
so check your cards when you get your netbooks and call them up if they dont work

According to someone who received his netbook today, the description he gave was:

My brother got his netbook last night, even tho we had not received an e-mail telling us it had been shipped. He got the Samsung N145 PLUS (N145-JP02). Has a 250 GB hard drive, 1 GB memory, color Black. Comes with an 8GB SD card, a slot to read media cards, Windows 7 Starter (32 b.).Has 10.1 inch screen, 3-USB connectors, Built-in Webcam, Comes with MS Office Home & Student 2010 with license (not a trial) and System Recovery Disc.

That isn't what shows on the comparison you posted.

So it looks like those living east of the Mighty Mississippi are getting their netbooks. I've decided that there's really hope for those of us on the west coast, so I went out and got my baby netbook a receiving blanket.
Attachment 481941

I didn't pick a traditional pink or blue color scheme because I won't know whether it's a boy or a girl netbook until I find out about its memory. (Obviously, if its memory is insufficient and/or unreliable, it's a boy netbook. nod)

Hey there! Did you go though the posts from last night? GoldieRocks said you should have a nice rose avatar since you mentioned my rose pics & wanting spring to come.
I thought a nice Yellow Rose of Texas avatar would be nice & posted some animated ones for you.
Yes, I got almost thru post and saw these, I especially love the 1st one. Then the UPS man knocked at the door. Netbooks arrived!!!! I also saw the "baby netbook blanket". I want one for "baby VIV", she's a smart little thing (using her now) and SHE loves the attention. Tomorrow I'm going to work on the avatar, I'll let you know if I need you expertice. I also went back to the grocery store link today and picked Kroger as my store, entered zip and no problem. Signed up, entered, no problem. Thanks so much.

So it would seem there is no rhyme nor reason (alphabetical, region, date when ordered, whether or not you talked to customer service or got extra points or not) as to when we will obtain our gear.
Congratulations to those who have gotten their gear and the rest of us have to be patient and hope for the best. It looks like the bikes are the main thing on back order. Very good quality bicycle and the net books are neat and come with bonus sd card and bonus office program and larger hard drive than the original n150. What is the old saying, "a watched pot never boils." I can't help it, I keep watching the pot hoping a net book will materialize out of the steam, lol.
PS- Is anyone else sick of that darn Sasquatch slapping them silly, I'm starting to not feel so bad about the guys in the beef jerky commercial tricking him into putting his tongue on the metal pole, lol.
