Got my rejection letter as well. All that anxious waiting for nothing. Oh well, any one have have any clue as to how much these will retail for? Hopefully less than or close to $100.

"...be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected. Even if you've gone together for only a short time, and haven't been too serious, there's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company. But if you're honest and direct, and avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news, the boy will respect you for your fineness. And honestly, he'll appreciate the kind and straightforward manner in which you've told him your decision. Unless he's a real jerk or a crybaby, you'll remain friends."

Great song, BTW. Too bad it's the only good track on the CD.

Hmmmm..I havent got a rejection letter yet, maybe that means I got accepted. That would be cool. Afterall, I have had my Nomad II for about three weeks now and it is getting kinda old.

I didnt get any email, is that a good sign?

[Scyber]

rigmah,

I dont know, that is what I am trying to figure out. I think it means we probably did not get in. Since they only had fifty acceptance emails to send out they probably sent them out first and then are slowly sending out the rejection emails. Of course I could be completely off-base and we both could find out tomorrow that we qualified. but i wouldnt hold your breath.

[Cubexco]

There were 2 e-mails....
The 1st notifying the Winner, the 2nd a follow-up.
So, I guess the 50 people must have already got their units by now.
And a BIG THANK YOU, RANDOM for the original post.
