The Word on 31 Days of the Dragon
by Andrew McCaskey
If you listened to the show today, you know why I have been so excited about the promotion that we will be running, along with thirty other blogs and podcasts beginning May 9th.
The 31 Days of the Dragon is a promotion between 31 participating web sites, with the sponsorship
of HP.
HP is working with those websites offering 31 prize packages – one a day for 31 days
during a period from 09 May through 08 June 2008.
SDRNews will be giving away one of these systems to a lucky listener sometime during that 31 day period. And, by visiting each of the sites and entering each contest, you will have a total of at least 31 chances to win – probably much more.
Each participating website will have its own competition with its own prize, each a HP HDX Dragon
Entertainment Notebook loaded with features and software.
The HP HDX Dragon comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) and is powered by an Intel
Core 2 Extreme Processor X9000 (2.80GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB). Other features include 20.1″
diagonal WUXGA High-Definition HP Ultra Brightview Widescreen (1920×1200) 1080p, 4GB DDR2 System
Memory (2 Dimm), 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS, HP Imprint Finish (Dragon) + Fingerprint Reader
+ Webcam + Microphone, Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth, 500GB 5400RPM
SATA Dual Hard Drive (250GB x 2), Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer, Integrated
HP HDTV Hybrid TV Tuner and 4 Altec Lansing speakers with HP Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer, and 9
I’ll have details as they emerge- announced both on the podcast and here on the site. As I get updates, I will post them so that you will be able to take action immediately as I learn more about the actions of the other sites.

I am very honored to have been chosen by HP and Buzz Corps to participate in this promotion, and my thanks go out to SDRNews listeners who have helped make this possible.
Cell Lithium Ion Battery.
This has been the subject of an entire stream of emails this weekend and phone calls as the details come together. There is a conference call at 11:00AM Eastern Monday where I will learn more details on exactly how this will be done.
I know that the official promotion period – Day 1 will commence May 9, 2008.
