HP CANADA newsgram - November 2005

Remember last year when you swore you'd start the
holidays early? No? Well, we sure do - hence this
pre-holiday edition to help you kick-start your season
(rather than kicking yourself while waiting in last
minute line-ups). And once you're wrapped, ready and
waiting by the fire with a hot cider and a smile, all
we ask is that you don't point and laugh at the gaggle
of "last-minities". At least not too hard ...

This issue, prep for your best holiday yet. Plan for
prezzies with a little help from our hot HP Holiday
Gift Guide, print a needle-free tree, and pick up 10
tips for perfect holiday parties. Then, find out what
sets HP TVs apart from the rest, get 25 bucks back on
your iPod, and see who's launching the first ever
"Perfect Print Guarantee" (hint: 2 letters, starts
with H, ends with P).

November's features ...

+ Digital do's and don'ts
+ Deck your walls
+ Up your HDTV IQ
+ Miracle on iPod street
+ Give your wallet a gift
+ 10 perfect party tips
+ Media Center vs. fireplace?
+ HP's perfection guarantee

Quick Tip:

Get your gift grabber. Looking for nifty gifties?
Use this free HP Holiday Gift Guide to tap into the
tech that's topping everyone's wish list, and check
the toys YOU want twice!

New product showcase:

Black socks or plasma? Stick a (very big) bow on our
new arrivals - like this colossal 42-inch HP HD-Ready
Plasma TV, with a contrast ratio so intense those
black socks will pale in comparison.

Here's what's hot...

Frosty the lens man? Avoid a chilly reception for your
holiday snaps - find everything you need for warm and
fuzzy family shots this season inside our one-stop
Digital Photography Centre. It's stacked with advice
for choosing the equipment you need, tips and tricks
for the best pics, print projects, reviews of our award-
winning HP cams and printers (oh, us ...), and more to
help you capture the winter wonderland faster than you
can say "thumpety thump thump".

Needle-free tree. Yeeeow! Want the look of an evergreen
without the prickly feel? Do your feet a fave: download
this life-size ouch-free Holiday Tree from HP! It's 4
feet tall, saves space by mounting flat on your wall
and is re-usable each year, so it's kind of like a
"forever-green". This pain-free pine is the perfect
solution whether you're travelling, have pets with a
penchant for green, or simply want to let kids get
creative and decorate their own trees with pics of
friends, family, HP employees ... Okay, maybe not that
last one.

Big kids need big toys ... like one of the snazzy new
digital TVs that have everyone talking. But what are
they saying, exactly? Cut through the gobbledygook to
get the whole pic on "hi-def" and what makes HP stand
out from the pack. Familiar with Wobulation? How about
DCDi? You will be soon, and at the end of it all,
realize you're gonna need a MUCH bigger stocking.

Hey you with the iPod - want $25 back? Know the joy
of finding an old fiver crumpled in your coat pocket?
Well, if you own an iPod, prepare to feel five times
that magic and read on ... The Supreme Court of Canada
decided that a levy included in the price of blank
digital recordable media during a certain period
shouldn't have applied to MP3 players. So if you
bought an Apple iPod by HP in Canada, we just may
have 25 bucks waiting for you. Get the full details
on this sweet holiday surprise!

Deck your wallet with boughs of money.
Moolah-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Want another reason to
give the gift of HP this season? Right now, when you
pair up any qualifying digital cam (or camera cell
phone, or camera PDA) and HP printer between October
2nd and December 31st, 2005, we'll personally give your
wallet a gift of $50 US back! Get the details now,
then get set to sing "O money tree, o money tree" all
the way to the bank.

The party express. Before calling over Prancer, Vixen
and the gang, make sure you cover these "10
Commandments of Great Party Giving" from Reader's
Digest. These smart, simple suggestions will help
you skip the stress and toss a soiree that's a total
success. Now if you can just keep Blitzen out of the
eggnog ...

Fireplace, meet your match. Want extra holiday
spark? Heat up some cocoa and gather your fam 'round
the glow of the HP Media Center PC, our mesmerizing
digital entertainment hybrid. It lets you watch and
pause live (yes, live!) TV, transfers your VHS
treasures to DVD, takes your camera card for easy
photo-slide shows, spins your holiday hit list from
your desktop or iPod then burns your compilation to
disc. You can even hang your stockings on it. (We're
still working on the chestnut-roasting thing ...)

Rudolph the salmon-nosed reindeer? How do you
ensure your holiday photos print to perfection every
time? Simple, choose HP - the only one with the
Perfect Print Guarantee. If your images aren't 100%
perfect, send 'em to us and we'll reprint them -
totally free! That's our promise. And it's also the
difference between offering your loved ones a printer,
and giving them the gift of perfect prints, every
time.
