Again, I’m pimping one of these giveaways.  But the truth is that this is a great giveaway and it is great to see a company like HP being so generous this time of year.  I mean these guys are gifting out $6000 worth of equipment TIMES 50!!  Each of 50 blogs that they chose has the full $6000 package of stuff to give away.  And the only catch is that you have to pay it forward?  Even if I gave ALL of it away, I’d still feel better for winning.
