I have alerted your post to the Forum Admin to see if this is a genuine CNET email.

While I don't want to anticipate the answer it is good to see you are unsure and have not yet replied.

If you still have the email you could, if you wished, look at the Source. Most email programs allow us to "View Source" or "View message source" which shows the hidden details of the email.

That might tell you and/or tell us more.

Thanks for responding Marc.

I would have entered myself but I see I am too young!

Ohh ok, not that one, I live in the UK so I don't pass the residency test! Devil

Tortured ipad sweepstakes
Sep 15, 2012 1:21PM PDT

I sure hope this is as real as it gets!
I have wanted to play with an ipad since they first emerged. Laid up for 3 months on crutches I have dreams of learning all there is to learn about one of these. My job as a personal organizer means I could show my clients the items they need for their spaces and help me keep track of them! However not working now means no money to buy one so I'll certainly take one, tortured or not, as every poor tortured item needs a good, loving home.
