How long have you been a member?  Just looking for reasons why some 
people weren't sent info.  Remember the information I received was 
not a direct offer of a player, I had to meet the criteria and then 
apply by E-mail.  There were 1000 machines available I think and 
there was a chance they could have received more responces than 
machines available.  I took the machine thinking I would have to join 
a focus group to discuss the player but haven't heard anything about 
that as yet.
