Yesterday I got an email from Dell with a few advertisements. Nothing new. I get them every few days. So what's the deal then?
Well, this one was a bit different. First it was the first time I've seen Dell partner with a bank, namely the Bank of Montreal (BMO), and second, it was for a free netbook. WOW! That's a great deal, but wait a sec.......what's the catch. Yup, there was the link, let's check it out!

If you don't believe me, check out the actual advertisement link from BMO (http://www.bmoinvestorline.com/mobile/).
What's the big deal? Well, IMHO, if you can afford to open up a NON-Registered account with 75Gs, you DON'T need a coupon for any Dell product! And likewise, if you have $150,000 JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST hanging around the house, my guess is you DON'T need any help or incentive to buy a $299 Netbook from Dell!
Maybe I'm a bit jaded, but I thought this was a bit too much and had to blog about. If you agree or disagree with me, please leave a comment. If you agree, maybe Dell and BMO might, juuuuuust might give us an incentive the average Joe could ACTUALLY USE!!!!!
Now that's off my chest, it's time to grab a coffee and get coding!
