Comp-U-News

January 2008
A Brand New Year!! I'm so excited. I get to start over,do things
differently, try new stuff. Like exercise - which shouldn't be confused
with chocolate. However, if you really try, you can exercise with
chocolate. It's simple. Get a five pound chocolate bar and lift it several
times from the start arm position to the shoulder. This is called an arm
curl. You do this until your arm gets tired. To exercise the neck muscles,
every time the chocolate bar reaches shoulder height, turn your heads
towards the bar and take a bite. The exercise is condiered complete when
the chocolate bar is gone, or when you have achieved a diabetic coma. But
I digress! Back to the task at hand:
If learning something is new on your resolution this
year, I would suggest a look at the new Vista operating system. It's pretty
(I'm a girl and pretty is important), there are new gadgets, new games,
security features are everywhere, and there are bunches of freebies
available too! As part of their marketing plan, Microsoft has joined forces
with several reputable companies to offer rewards and incentives when you
purchase new computers running Vista, Office 2007, or Small Business Server
2003 through a local authorized Microsoft Reseller. This is
not an offer available through major mail order or department
store channels. It is available through Comp-U-Talk!
If Vista isn't for you, and there are several
reasons why you might think that, Comp-U-Talk can still custom build a
Windows XP box for you. Unfortunately, XP does not qualify for the Free
Stuff, but Office 2007 will.
Like all offers, there are terms and restrictions
that apply. The following is the actual Microsoft Sanctioned advertisment
concerning the offer.

With Windows Vista, 2007 Microsoft Office system, and Windows Small Business Server 2003
you can live life to the fullest at home or at work. Across your PC, on the web, and in
your life, familiar and personal tools offer easy and imaginative ways to enjoy and
share photos and videos, enjoy a great gaming experience, tune in to more music and
videos, and even create dazzling documents. Start your workday and the same great tools
make it possible for you to collaborate with your co-workers, take your laptop on the road,
and then stay connected to the office and to your e-mail.
Today's Windows solutions are better than ever and help you make the most of every day.
And it only gets better. Now when you buy a new eligible PC you can get a BONUS PACK of
FREE (after mail-in rebate, S&H/Taxes apply) hardware accessories. Make your experience
even better with a photo printer, a portable media hard drive, a new wireless router, or
even a new smartphone.
