Silliness E-Ink Reader Bailout - Page 4

I've lost most of my hair over the years that I've spent educating myself, working, raising my children, paying my mortgage, etc. Shouldn't I get some kind of compensation? I feel certain that I am owed something for that by all of you.

I want mine also!

Poor puppy has mange! We owe him a nice warm soapy bath, then a brand new rawhide bone, then off to sleep in a cozy bed near the furnace grate.

Who's a good puppy, you are, yes you are....[scritch scritch scritch tummy]

Is this a hoax? I don't understand the logic here? Not that I'm complaining.

It just doesn't make science why would we be getting a rebate for the film on the display technology that is even higher than the cost of the device itself?

Since when are Government programs required to make sense? There was one once; but, it was quickly closed down.

Under the stated terms of the program you must purchase the e-ink reader before December 31, 2009. This gives you another whole year to buy it and still receive the rebate.

Why a $500 rather than something less? Perhaps the person bought an iLiad or the new Sony 700. Maybe they are looking to buy one of the new generation of larger sized devices.

Maybe with luck I can dig out a copy of the rebate form later tonight.

I think that the rebate money should be used to buy e-ink readers for people who do not have e-ink readers. We need to spread the e-ink wealth. Why should the rich people who already own e-ink readers be rewarded? Don't they have enough already?

Hmm, there appears to be some problem with the Good Professor Wood's SeriousMode module. I'll just give it some minor adjustment [BANG! CLANG! BOING! with giant monkey wrench]. There, that should do it.

Cheers,

I thought that it was policy under the Current Occupant to Reward The Rich For Being Rich.

So, the next inaugurate(sp?) will walze down Pensylvania Avenue singing this?

"Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change"

Dear lord, lets hope not....

Given the state of their treasury, any loose change will be welcome....

After one of the contenders spends millions tonight for 30 mins of airtime on all the channels, CHANGE is about all there will be left for him to bring to DC.
