A month or two back, when the Give 1 Get 1 promotion was first announced and before my newfound resolve to control unreasonable technology urges, I signed up to get an email reminding me when it was time to participate in the program.
The first such reminder turned up in my inbox yesterday. I should have just deleted it right away. But I didn't. I read it. And guess what? T-mobile is donating a year's free access to any of it's wireless locations to everyone who participates. And not just for connecting the OLPC laptop. No, you can use this access for any wireless device. Like the iPhone, for instance.
So not only am I giving up my one-chance-in-a-lifetime to own one of these sweet OLPC laptops, I'm giving up a years free wireless access for my iPhone at tons of locations.
This better be buying me some serious points somewhere.
