Haha.

I really don't annoy them at all. I think you know me well enough to know that I'm a reasonable person.:)

Want to know my secret? I'm just polite and nice to them.:cool:


I know, I'm just messing around. You're a good dude :) I deal with customer service reps at work sometimes and they get hassled a lot so when they encounter some one friendly they are a ton more likely to be nicer to them and help them out more.

Went to a retail HP training event about 2 weeks ago, and since there were only 2 of us in the Champions program, and 2 HP Touchpads available as a raffle for those members, we both automatically got one :)

WebOS is pretty sad after using it for awhile, so I loaded Android on it (since I don't have any Android devices...want to get more familiar with the OS.)

Also just received my quarterly rewards from online HP training - $20 iTunes gift cards and $30 Starbucks cards to keep my cappuccino habit going...

clod hoppers...

Technically free, since work pays for me to get a pair each year... Which is a bit excessive for me, since every pair of Rocky boots I've ever had has lasted for effin' ever.

I just won a Touchpad from HP also, but I got mine from the InfoLab site. I used my Champion points for $50 in Chili's/On The Border Gift Cards. Not sure what to do with the Touchpad since I have an iPad. I may use it to play around with Android a little. How is Android working out on yours? I know its still in the early stages.

Brace yourselves.....a whopping $5 :confused: This is the thanks I get for buying a $700 TV from them. Better yet, when I went to go use it? Didn't work. Had to wait in line for 30 minutes at the customer service counter in order for them to bestow this mighty gift onto me so I could put it towards the shampoo purchase I was trying to make.

My iPad is absolutely my primary tablet - the HP is just for experimenting, trying out Android, etc. If I get really bored with it, I may even sell it eventually. Hey, 100% profit is always good :)

I've given up on Target gift cards from purchases. Twice I've had the cards not honored, supposedly because the cashier forgot to activate them. What the cards are worth, is never worth the aggravation.

Yeah, I haven't opened mine yet, I'm thinking since I have the ipad I will just sell the touchpad before I even open it.

It's definitely worth trying - I'm sure not gonna go out of my way and spend $399+ on an Android tablet when I'm so heavily invested in iOS apps...

New York, Baby!
The cable on my headphones messed up this morning, having to be twisted near the jack to give proper sound. Went on the Philips site, told them the problem and have a replacement coming to me free of charge. The detachable cable was the exact reason I bought these headphones!
