Hey LawyerRon,
I know what you mean and I never felt offended or so. Don't worry!
I wasn't sure myself either - especially as I usually do not fall for any sweepstakes. I had heard about this one from neutral sources and I really like AMD (I am even holding stock in AMD), so that I decided to go for it. They were actually touring the US and I missed them when they were here in Denver because I had to work.
Oh, well ... - an early christmas present!
