Thank you Diamondcarol..:gdflower3: Sounds pretty interesting and sure could use the $100 incentive..

Gave it a shot! Thank you!

This sounds great! I gave it a shot and hopefully will qualify. I just bought a laptop and did a lot of research on them before making my purchase, so hopefully I'm what they're looking for. Got my fingers crossed...and thanks for posting it!! :yup:

got this email also,wasn't going to answer it but you guys make it all seem easy.thanks:)

Thank you

I also got the e-mail. Hope I qualify!

I've bought 3 computers in 5 years,lol. We live on a mountain road and the alley is also dirt so we have TONS of dust (ick) and I blow out the computers with air but the dust just kills them,lol. They start "bogging down" after about 7 months anyways so within a year or so I'm ready for a new one,lol.

I got in!!!!:woot2: I got the invite email, but wasn't going to respond until I saw it posted on here. I guess I forgot I signed up with them a long time ago. Good luck everyone!:D

I got in for this one, yay! They gave me a call on Saturday telling me to look in my email for a username and password for the survey. :)

This was a fun one :)
Does anyone else who participated know how/when we will receive payment for this?

i wanted to let everyone know that I was picked to do another survey with them. It starts tuesday for 125.00.

Did everyone get their payment for this focus group yet? Did they just send you a check, or pay through Paypal or something? I am still waiting to hear from them...
