This isn't your every day freebie, but the prospects are quite interesting.
Google is basically looking for test users of their upcoming Chrome OS. To that end, they're giving out as many as 60,000 laptops FREE! This is what they look like:
True, it doesn't look like much, but frankly, I like the clean, untainted look; free from all those annoying stickers and gaudy plastic logos.
The catch?
1. First, you have to
2. You are not guaranteed of one.
3. If you do get one, you have to be willing to help them test it and send feedback.
If you like technology, if you're online quite a bit, and you don't mind trying something that isn't fully polished and is still in Beta, feel free to sign up!

I can use any computer in the house (OK so only the kids will share thiers with me) and I can share my docs with anyone with just a few clicks.
They haven't sent me a laptop, but they did earn me as a google doc customer (well it is free, so they just get to clean my files for ads)
Sounds like a freaky commercial, but true.
BTW I miss you too BA
