Netbook Scoop

The object of our May 2009 Netbook Giveaway was supposed to be an Asus Eee PC 1000HE.  However, due to circumstances beyond our control (the 1000HE was defective upon receipt), we have been forced to modify our plans.

When it became apparent earlier today that we would not have a replacement 1000HE in time, I made a command decision and ordered an Eee PC 1008HA instead.

My logic?

The original decision to giveaway an Asus Eee PC 1000HE was based upon your votes in a series of polls earlier this month. But these were done before the introduction of the 1008HA.

I decided that there was much more excitement about the 1008HA – - and that you would probably be much happier getting one of the latest Eee PCs instead.

So if you would be interested in receiving a White Black version of the Asus Eee PC 1008HA, then please be sure to sign up before Saturday at midnight.
