ENFUSIA Dec 17, 2008 9:57 AM	Infused scent?.....that's something useless you would expect from a Mac as a marketing ploy. You want a scent? Stick an "in car" air freshener to your Lappy....LOL Comment made about the PC Authority article: Unboxed: pine scented ASUS F6V laptop?

malai5 Dec 17, 2008 9:50 PM	Is this a promise of things to come??? Is this an attempt by some Asus excutive who has an offspring ensconced in their room, playing computer games 24/7, to combat the rancid odour of an unwashed body and unwashed clothes piling up because the priority is some "Battle\| that has to be fought against a Cyber Invader??? Who knows, it just may be the reason.:shock: Cheers Malai5 Edited by malai5: 17/12/2008 09:51:26 PM
