I only demoted because they tend to die when I forget to feed and water, thats bad marketing for Dell, assuming they brand them with a Dell logo, they're coming from Dell after all, sticker?

Forgot, if we could harness the hamster wheel to power something, I'd want one!

Well, the hamster is actually the printer -
just whisper your Word document into his ear,
and he writes out your paper in broccoli based ink with his genetically engineered ink-jet toes.

That's why he is kicking his little feet - he's out of paper and needs a new sheet loaded.

You can of course go with the upgraded bluetooth edition - they run on blueberries.

Somehow I don't think ink comes out the toes :)

Hey, I just saw the end, so he didn't eat the stalk so all those complaints of having to eat the stalk was false! He only ate the nutritious part! I gotta go find somebody...

If the hamster was put in the PC it could power the fan (i.e. the fan would be a hamster wheel), reducing power consumption, so this is a great "go green" idea

Do you guys need me to provide an explanation on this one re: why it's "not likely"? :)
jorge
07/27/07
Yes, explain. You seem to hate hamsters, is it just you or Dell in general?
jorge

Just imagine the marketing publicity if you offered it for a week.

No explination needed. I wouldn't want the animal rights people picketing either. It is a cute video though.

BEST IDEA EVER.

@dell_admin1 - perhaps you should rethink. Baby hamsters are cute.
