(Notice it said I "WON". I want my computer. I will be looking into to this to see if the legal system can help me...)

"Click Here for your Free Alienware® laptop..."

The link http://rapidsbids.info/solim?m=1215224&l=0
...took me to...

"Get a Alienware® Laptop FREE...

(HEY! "Jenny" said it was a "Dell"...)

"...with completion of all program requirements."

(OK...here we go...)

"Wide-Screen LCD Display...Up to a $1,399.00 value..."

(Uh-huh...probably a model that didn't sell...)

"ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS..."

(Hell, no...)

Update: I won...I got a free computer, but had to sign a "non-disclosure agreement"...so I can't talk about it.
