Attention, computer owners! Some of you own some really lousy PCs\u2013either ones that were dogs in the first place, or which have gotten so roughed up over time that they\u2019re just plain sad. Maybe most of these machines aren\u2019t in active use\u2013I sure hope not\u2013but if they aren\u2019t, they\u2019re lurking in closets and attics across this great nation. I just know it.<\/p>\n
And we want to hear about them, since the one type of computer more memorable than a great one is a bizarrely terrible one. Here\u2019s your incentive to spill your guts: Courtesy of HP, we\u2019ll pick a winner from among all people who tell us about their bad PCs\u2013and that person will receive HP\u2019s extremely slick, feature-laden Envy 13 notebook as a prize. (Thanks to HP for providing it.)<\/p>\n
Entries must be submitted no later than 5pm PDT on Friday, October 16th. Use of photos (one of \u2018em, at bare minimum) and videos is encouraged.<\/p>\n

Attention, computer owners! Some of you own some really lousy PCs–either ones that were dogs in the first place, or which have gotten so roughed up over time that they’re just plain sad. Maybe most of these machines aren’t in active use–I sure hope not–but if they aren’t, they’re lurking in closets and attics across this great nation. I just know it.<\/p>\n![\"Envy](\"http:\/\/technologizer.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/10\/envy13.png?w=578&h=385\" "\\"Envy")
