AmigaOne/AmigaOS 4.0 "Free Stuff" Early Promotion Status : Comment 27 of 87 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 25-Jun-2002 15:28 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (darklite): >>Can someone please do a review of the coupon? I'd like to know what I'm buying.
The following review was conducted by Pointless-Reviews-Inc. Upon hearing of the release of the new high-tech AmigaOne-Coupon we decided to test it against similar competitors, in this case a sheet of photocopier paper, a piece of toilet paper and a $50 bank note. We then conducted a series of tests and recorded the results:
Bulk Value Test: Using $50 we decided to puchase as many sheets of paper as possible.
A1 Coupon - 1
$50 note - 1
Photocopy paper - 5000 sheets
Toilet paper - 5,000,000 sheets
Clearly the toilet paper proved to be the clear winner here with a very poor showing for the coupon and $50 note.
Trade-In-Test: We attaempted to trade in the pieces of paper for a new A1 mobo.
A1 Coupon - we got $50 off the retail price.
$50 note - we got $50 off the retail price.
Photocopy paper - the salesperson asked us to leave the building.
Toilet Paper - the salesperson told us to &%^$ off and called the police.
The joint winners here were the coupon and the $50. The toilet paper was much worse than expected as we got nothing off the price, plus it cost us $5000 to bail our tester out of the county jail.
Ass-Wipe-Test: We attemped to wipe our bottoms on the pieces of paper.
A1 Coupon - soft, strong and thoroughly absorbant.
$50 note - "smeared" rather that "removed"
Photocopy paper - caused some rather nasty paper cuts on the tester's bottom.
Toilet Paper - Testers fingers penetrated the paper causing him to have to wash his hands for 30 minutes with a nail brush.
A clear win for the A1 Coupon and a warning to everyone not to wipe with photocopy paper!!!
Free T-Shirt Test: We attempted to get a free T-Shirt when puchasing the pieces of paper. In the case of the $50, we asked several banks to give us a free T-Shirt while withdrawing $50 from our checking accounts.
A1 Coupon - YES!!!
$50 - No, however one cute cashier gave me her phone number.
Photocopy paper - no
Toilet paper - no
Summary: Despite a poor showing in the "Bulk Value Test", the A1 Coupon proved to be the clear winner overall and comes highly recommended.
I hope this helps ;) |
