Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook Talking technology, computers, and the Internet… for the average computer user

Boy, I love these things. Charter is having another sweepstakes! I’m very impressed with this company– at a time when other Internet and Cable TV communications companies are pinching pennies, raising prices, and decreasing in customer satisfaction, Charter has stepped up the plate to be a real winner with their customers. It’s a great example of what a company SHOULD do to get more people– and to get more HAPPY people. A great, great company. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Charter’s phenomenal high-speed Internet service to come to my area.The prices are very good, much better than what I pay right now (we are monopolized by one company available to us here in New York State).

So Charter is having another sweepstakes! It’s the Laptop-a-Day Sweepstakes. This is a very nice one– winners will get an HP 550 Notebook 15-inch with Windows Vista and a NeoTec Compu Backpack, perfect for back-to-school time. The contest is running NOW until September 15, 2009. The sweepstakes is only available to residential customers within the areas that Charter serves, however.

Charter recently had an HDTV-A-Day sweepstakes, and before that, they’ve given away laptops, Xboxes, and even a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid! (I need a new laptop, as I gave mine to my daughter for her schoolwork.) This particular laptop is a nice HP laptop, 160GB hard drive, Celeron processor, 15.4″ display– it’s a really nice model for a student or businessperson.

You can read up on all the details at the Laptop-a-Day Sweepstakes at Charter’s website. And you can also follow Charter on Twitter and see Charter on Facebook. Charter is also giving away gift cards up to $100 for folks who sign up for their services. I hope we get Charter service available soon!
