520428 2007-01-29 19:15:00 Dan Carter is donating his freebie laptop with Vista (the first ever purchased in the world apparently... big deal!) to Cure Kids, who're autining it currently on TradeMe.

Minimal spec info is quoted, but they proudly boast it has a whole 2 MegaBytes of RAM! They couldn't even provide a description of the item, instead simply copying and pasting press release info, including the auction's heading! :lol:

Auction here (www.trademe.co.nz).

So a charity gets to make some money by auctioning off a pice of Dan Carter signed hardware. What's the problem with that? So someone slipped up when entering it and put 2MB not GB (which appears now to have been changed).

Gee, Greg you really need to look up curmudgeon in the dictionary and then take a look in the mirror .....
