I fulfill the two conditions. My laptop needs a reboot every 15-20 minutes and sometimes goes berserk all together and I can't afford a new one in near future. I too think, I am eligible for your generosity. I vow that I will refurbish it and pass it on whenever I am capable of buying a new one for myself.

That's good, actually, that's something I've thought of.

Whoever gets it should pass it on or donate something else to the community. That would indicate a good and open spirit. :)

No offense, but why is thread starting to sound like a Ms. World speech?

Just be frank and let the guy decide.

Yesterday evening I placed everyone's 'name' in a jar (yes old-school) and picked: an_yamnat. I've mailed you so check your inbox :) Congrats!

Picking blindly isn't really a good choice. But well, enjoy your new toy an_yamnat!

I think everyone deserved a fair change. That's why I picked blindly.
