    We need an official EPP beg thread. EPP begging should be allowed in that and only that thread.
    Oh, and I'd like an EPP login tpp :D

    Is this the EPP login request thread? I am a poor refuge disabled single homeless mother and I could really use an EPP login. TIA.

    I'm sure you could Google it and about 100 different employees last names and serial numbers would come up, but would you do it? It's about as safe as taking some random persons info here isn't it?

    Hey lskey's, I have an idea for you. You know how ZaZ's signature reads "It is NOT OK to PM me your notebook questions"? Well I was thinking you could just put in your signature something like: "It IS ok to PM me your EPP information". That way, you are essentially working every single one of your posts to this end without outright asking for it in any given thread, merely giving permission.

    Good idea Leon2245. But no one really pays attention to the signature. Plus I believe in the saying, " You get not, because you ask not". I love to ask. Maybe someone will have a little mercy and PM me. :eek2: I remember when I asked for it during May, and someone posted the Meyer EPP login info.

    Safe in what respect?? :confused:
    Besides, try to Google yourself first. :)
    You'll see for yourself why so many here are still begging for it.

    EPP is only for IBM employees or Lenovo employees as well?

    How absurd would it be if you couldn't even get a discount from your own company but people from another company could?

    I'm pretty sure this isn't the case. Students/Alumni (via the education link on Lenovo's home page) is a 5% discount, which is on par with the SPP (Shareholder Purchase Plan, also 5%), whereas the Employee discount is 15%.

    And of course, that one is tied to an actual account (versus the honor system on the students/alum discount, and just a number for SPP).
