Here's one for all of our Canadian readers! Fortunately, we own a Dell Mini 10v, or else this announcement might have found itself accidentally misplaced out of jealousy. The 10v may not be the technology leader among netbooks, but we have been quite impressed with ours thus far - and "free" covers a lot of faults. If you need more incentive, and a few minutes of entertainment, you can view the video Dell created for this contest at www.youtube.com/rescueamini.
