Neilo, read the #31 and then Brad's response #32 in this post https://forums.wincustomize.com/343545/page/2/#replies

Hmmmm. Seems kind of elitist to give something away to someone who already HAS a computer when there is some needy, under-clocked poor person out there who could have it. I think it should be donated to an AIG exec in the name of the winner as compensation for the unfair treatment they are suffering at the hands of the sensationalist media cabal.

Yes, but that has been redfined a few times now always with the "New" suffix added.

I'll admit though it is confusing when one knows not to believe the CEO or an employee.

For the gospal truth, PM Brad perhaps.

I still can't see it being the millionth purchase though. If we are approaching 1M customers then Impulse must have well over 1M purchases. How many folks have bought more than one item. I have bought 3 games and ODU so thats 4 purchases for me, which might be a bit above the average.

I'd say Impulse would be closer to 2M purchases.

Also why reward an exsisting customer for making a purchase? That doesnt promote anyone to become a customer.

Bah...thats just my take on it.

It all makes perfect sense to me. To maximize your chances if you are an existing customer and you are taking exception to the apparent exclusion of existingness as a customer from eligibility for the awarding of the computer:

Go out and buy a new computer so that you can make your new account without being flagged as an existing user who is trying to create the acccount on an existing computer that has made an existing connection to Impulse, thereby negating any possibility of newness on the part of the wouldbe abovereferenced new user. Then buy something.

Guess next time you'll keep something like this quiet then huh?

You don't wave a bangin' system like that in front of people's noses, on the PREMIER GEEK SITE!  The hell were you guys thinking?  These folks aren't reading nothing but that system's specs!

I'm sorry but you asked for a riot when you did that and guess what, you got one.

What, you didn't think these folks wouldn't look straight down at their puters right then and there and start calculating who they need to kill?

You opened your big mouths and look what you got!  Baby whines and drools! 

Hilarious!

sorries doc ...didnt mean to offend, i really thought you didnt know.....

anyways, back on topic, i still think its a wicked prize to the lucky person who gets one million

I'm absolutely 100% sure you meant a shot at that prize. Lookwho's talkin', me and my typographic own helluva shooting my foot.

I've got a better idea; we ALL log onto the Metaverse simultaneously, institute the War-Measures act, call the WWF for instructions, throw everyone in the ring, grab our last spore module, give it to our best Korath enhanced spy & send him in passively until and only then, we can nuke it all from orbit with an arsenal of 1,000,001 BlackHole Eruptors, more or less.

Haha, no.  I've never won anything that involved luck.

That is a pretty sweet computer.  Sure, I would have preferred to have had a chance at winning it, but hey, you're the ones giving it away.

YA KNOW I am saving up for a pc right now... HOw about I Get it instead... .... DAMN 

Me!

GalCiv2/Fredlords ..

GalCiv2/SharkHaveatart

GalCiv2/TwiceRight of the Harbor

ObjectDesktopX/ the whole pack in a rack of a snack in a wack, SkinStudio *alone* is worth MUCH more than the incredible deal i got at 39.95$US (Heck, you can even take off the decimal!) Close enough?

AVGIS8/ Greedsoft of czek republic - no AIG punks overthere, i guess.

The last two items barely just two weeks ago; but i'm not new to Impulse at all.

Gimme a time machine, please.

4000$, baby. All in one swift lucky shot.

StarDock rules.

I almost needed a Zyxpsilish translator for this.

He, He. The reactions here are not only expected but also (to an extent) understandable.

Why come here to the forums for current customers and make an anouncement about a kick-ass computer that can be won by anyone but current customers? This might have been better placed on the Impulse Front-Site.

Hilarious! 

Hey, I aint going to win! Guess what?

Iv'e said it a few times now and SD have not corrected me or had me shot so i will say it again.

Iv'e not seen anything saying that an exisiting customer is not allowed to create a new Impulse account, and therefore be a new customer, and purchase something.

I myself already have 2 Impulse accounts and am in need of a third (multi copies of GC2), i may create that account and put Elemental on my third account.

It will be a new email and new nick so it's a new account with a purchase, seems eligable to me.

Again, i've heard nothing about this being frowned upon by SD, but money is money, i'm sure they don't care if it's an entirley new customer or an exsisting one.

Seems easy enough to accomplish of your keen enough though, and shuts up the whiners.

Not hard to make another account, the facility to do so is built right into Impulse.
