Boy, This one was easy! Rocketboard (computer keyboard) is free and available for shipping 5/29. They are giving away 250,000. Register now: This time you make out a form to order it & get an order number. Don't panic when you see the shipping charge. That gets subtracted with a code that automatically gets put in for free shipping. No credit card info needed

heygrape, Thanks again! How do you do it? I'm still trying to figure out how you guys find the deals at Staples. Thanks to you, I ordered the 175 feet of bubble wrap. The only way I could was by using the item number on your info. It didn't show up on the search at packing supplies. You are always finding free stuff and I really appreciate you passing along the info. Thanks again!!!

Grapey - Thanks! That was really nice of you to post that and I ordered one. My shipping date was June 5th, so guess they are getting a lot of orders. They did say I had to confirm my order via email, and I'm waiting for that right now.

Hi again - A friend of mine who is far more computer savy than I am, (almost everyone is) read the privacy portion of the keyboard website.
He discovered that, as far as he could determine, some software comes with this keyboard and if you load the software to use with the keyboard, that rocketboard.com can use this to track the sites you visit and then sell that info to advertisers. He thinks you can use the keyboard without the software, but isn't sure.
Just thought I would pass that along in case anyone is interested.

jada--Yup! Have to do the email confirmation. But that was no biggie.
I never heard of a company doing that with a piece of hardware. Is it legal?
Did you see all the fancy buttons on it, in the picture? Wow! I'm looking forward to playing with it.
Packer--Auhhh Garsh! I just surf around and also I'm in a network of people that share what we find with each other. I could never find all this by myself. But these deals are fun, ya know? Congrats on the Staples Haul!!
Toodles,
Grapey

Hi Grapey, sorry to be so slow to get back to you, just blame it on laziness or old age, (I use them interchangebly now). LOL
I don't know about the legality of this, but I think the software is probably how they keep track of your URLs, etc, so you may agree to let them do that if you use the software. However, that's strictly a wild guess on my part, I'm still looking forward to getting the keyboard and playing with it, I'm just not gonna load the software (as if I could anyway! LOL).

Hello HeyGrape...Just finished the
form for the keyboard. Thanks for
the information. Just found you all this morning...do you know if the free 175 feet of bubble wrap is still available to order. If so can you tell me the where and how? Thanks again!!
