Giving Back, Intel Need A Tech Makeover Video Spotlights

news · December 17, 2008

Good Morning All,

It's rare that we get the opportunity to give back the community in such a

way that truly affects peoples' lives, beyond just a simple door prize or

contest trinket. However, In the spirit of the holiday season, we feel

fortunate and proud to have been given the opportunity to do something

pretty special for three very interesting, cool people we're sure you'll

enjoy meeting.

Earlier this quarter, we teamed up with Intel, in an effort to hold a very

special sort of contest and promotion called "Need A Tech Makeover". The

contest allowed us to give back to the community and help out three

deserving people whose lives were desperately in need of a technology

face-lift. These three lucky winners would each be awarded $5,000 worth of

new desktops and notebooks based on Intel Centrino 2 and Core 2 technology,

as well as all the required peripherals to take full advantage of all their

new computing horsepower.

Recently, we announced our three lucky winners, a small town Performing Arts

group called Steps Off Broadway, a stage 4 cancer survivor, Christine from

South Carolina, and Susan from Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm.

We're very happy for the winners of this unique and very generous contest

that Intel was good enough to sponsor. We'd very much appreciate a link in

your news to spread the word. This isn't your run-of-the-mill release we're

blasting out here. This is a great example of big corporate enterprise

(Intel) giving back via the online community we're all a part of. It's a

validation for us all and we'd appreciate your support.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays,

Dave Altavilla and Marco Chiappetta
