Engadget's recession antidote: win an OCZ Summit Series 60GB SSD!
This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we've got an OCZ Technology Summit Series SATA II 2.5-inch 60GB SSD on offer, which ought to make your aging laptop quite happy. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!
Huge thanks to OCZ Technology for providing the gear!

Leave a comment by July 14th? That's a little restrictive Engadget considering today is the 17th in many parts of the world.
First, second, or third, I TOTALLY would love to win this. I can't tell you how much I need it! I can't even comment on how to fix the economy because my harddrive is too slow. So once i win this, I will write back and tell everyone how to fix things.

Tuesday, July 17 of what year?
I just want to see the performance gain. I heard SSD is unreliable due to the flash technology being unreliable. I want to see if this thing blows up like so many flash drives I've had in the past.
