A few weeks ago, I got a call from a vendor asking if I was interested in attending a class / feedback meeting they were holding. I get calls like this frequently and they are not usually a good use of my time. The lady on the phone said "you can learn all about"... and I kind of tuned out and said that I wasn't interested. She said something about providing lunch, but I was still not interested. Then she said "there's more" and that I could get a tablet, and I asked her to repeat that part. Were they giving one away? I never win those things... "No," she said "everyone who attends gets a tablet." So I asked her to start over because now I was interested.
So the lunch was good, the presentation was actually valuable, and the networking with other attendees was great. There were only 15 people invited, and I got to take home some software, a USB drive, a screen cleaner, and my fun new toy - a Galaxy Tablet:

Michael wants to know how he can save up for one. After he learned the cost, he thinks maybe he'd like a used Kindle from ebay instead. Too bad 6 year olds can't get invited to stuff like that!
Carole - congratulations on your win! We just got back from a trade show in Las Vegas where I won Mandy the same thing! You'll have to tell us all the cool apps and accessories to get for it.
