    OK, that wasn't just to get your attention, but it worked anyway... didn't it?

    Since this is a community and I know a bunch of you as customers, through emails and ims... I thought I'd share something that pertains to Asus notebooks. I was interviewed a couple months back by IDG (Internaltional Data Group - sort of like the AP). Anyway, to my surprise they actually published it. Right now it's only online and in print in Sweden (yeah, go figure) and online at CIO magazine.... but it should be in a dozen different magazines that IDG write for around the world.

    Pro.. since you know and talk to the "top people" at Asus adding insight into their products, add this...

    Tell them to throw in an X700 in the V6V [ :D]

    Yeah, so you think those swedish models read business magazines? I mean, if they do, that's just fine with me.

    Relax ,Justin

    The swedish chicks don't bother about size , its the perfomance they care for.

    So the title of the article ,is correct [ :D]

    Well it was an honest title... it was meant to explain that you can't get the level of service from some huge company that you can get from say, us...... that's obvious. A lot of people understand that and very much appreciate it, but the common folk do think that bigger is better....... so it did make sense..

    Plus those European's can be a lot racier with all these sexual innuendos.... Personally I have no problem with it, they just know what sort of things will grab people's attention and use it........ just sounds like good marketing.

    I've always been a beleive in quality over quantity.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Sex and Marketing make strange bedfellows.Sex sells and marketing likes

    sex to sell .

    There are many TV adds with the moto, 'size matters....'
