After reading about a large number of customers who haven't
received the gift after sending in the reg. card, I forwarded
some of the messages on to our Marketing Group, who asked me
to post this reply for them. If you want to reply to them
via e-mail, DO NOT REPLY TO ME! I don't work in the Marketing
Group. Send your replies to MOORE7 on AppleLink, or to
MOORE7@applelink.apple.com from InterNet.

In article <52720@apple.Apple.COM> anderson@Apple.COM (Clark Anderson), being kind enough to have sought the answer to a question a number of us have asked, and rightly bearing no responsibility for the answer, quotes Apple's marketing people as saying: >A number of customers who indicated to Apple that they would like to receive a >gift by returning their CPU product registration card, have not yet >received their gift. > >Over the past six months Apple has been experiencing a surge in the quantity of >CPU Product Registration cards that have been returned.

I don't know. I'm responsible for many of the Macs in my department here, and have registered every one I've brought in over the past two years and have never, never, NEVER received not nothing not no how from Apple. I've even written on the registration cards that I ain't never seen nothing and I don't think they even read 'em or give a hoot about the people who fill them out and send 'em in, and they *still* didn't do anything in response. Has anyone actually received something back? == Daniel == Daniel Sternbergh ddaniel@lindy.stanford.edu Local Network Administrator Materials Science & Engineering

We got a couple of IIsi's a month ago. I mailed in the registration for mine and got the free mousepad YESTERDAY! I couldn't believe it.
