HP, MIcrosoft and several tech blogging sites have been running a contest for a 26" HP Touchsmart touchscreen computer and $6000.00 worth of laptops, computers , software and peripherals to be donated to a charity that you have to write a "blog" about.  I chose "The Restoration House" which is a home for single mothers, some of whom are abused.  The house is run by some friends of ours at church and is truely a needing and deserving organization.

My entry WON!!  I will be getting a totally awesome 26" HP Touchsmart PC and the Restoration house will be getting lots of other goodies including  a Tablet PC, Server, and two desktops(that I am donating) as well as the "prize" which includes several laptops, netbooks and mini notes as well as software and printers.

Heres a link to the announcement over at one of the other sites I frequent.

Congrats, David!!!

Great cause & sounds like you did well, too.

H2O
If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

you , my  medically inclined fellow rider , have got to be one of lady luck's favorites!  and you are doing a good thing with it all, can see that .

now come back down here, help me pick a few powerball tickets , if it works, we can divide it into 4 piles (even of course) and retire completely from working society--- maybe retire to the mt raineer area-- get in some serious 5 sport weekends, hunt in th edesert, surf the pacific , shop the piers, lol   
keep your bike running,your beer cold ,and your passport handy.all are like money in the bank .

Heres some pics:

My empty desk


Now thats a BIG box


Gonna need a bigger desk...





Me and the owners of The Restoration house, some of the gifts from HP and a few computers that I gave them.  The HP HDX 18" totally loaded laptop was damaged in shipping so I had to send it back.  Aside from the hard drive, it actually outperformed the TouchSmart.
