The first time I played on my home computer, I got the coupon offer. Didn't get one on the office computer. (The more I look at the Desk Apprentice, the more I want one for my scrapbooking materials...)

Well, I ordered two, one for my business office, one for my home office. I can let you know if they're worth it.

Okay I want one but I want it to have a horizontal 2 shelf "in box" with the 3 vertical stackers surrounding it so I can keep my inbox on my desk and have room for the organizer. stackers surrounding it - does that make sense??

now I feel bad that I ordered two... sorry! (but I'm glad I ordered when I did!) And yes, Sassy, I like your suggestion for an adapted model. That would work better for me too. You should submit it to the Staples website! (they have a place for that)

Sassy, can't you just label one of the slots as your inbox?

Oh dear, I'm a "yes-man." I think the girls came up with the idea of using the "stackables" and then the three of them seem to coordinate together to come up with the top-of desk organizer. And I would want to be able to use files too.

Okay, the second time I'm an "up and comer." And by the way - what is the deal with the cat? At my house it would be a perfectly natural thing to have in my in-box?

Bren was on Regis this AM. I had the impression he was just tired and wanted out. Two days before the boardroom, his wife called to tell him that his one year old son had taken his first steps and he felt very homesick and sad that he had missed them. Also he mentioned that Alex had maintained with him that they would stand up to Donald in the boardroom and argue for their product but Alex did a 180 when he got into the room. Bren said he usually does what he says he is going to do so he continued to stand up for himself. He felt that, as a lawyer, risk taking is not the way he has been trained but he loved his time with the group. Again, I got the impression that he got exactly what he wanted to out of this gig. He made new friends, learned a lot but gets to go home and maintain a life he likes. When pushed into a corner on who he thought stood the best chance of winning of the final 4, he said Kendra.He said he has been very impressed with her performance.

OK, I understand they ran out, and the game isn't working at all.. all I can do is stop it from spinning. But,, it isn't even giving a price for the contraption.. The problem with the losing project is, well the top, of course, but also the fact that while most office workers have a DESK, whether they are in a bullpen, a cube, or an office, most setups dont haver the free floorspace for another piece of furniture. So while it might have worked, without the cover, with some changes, it wouldn't sell in mass quantities. Do, out of curiosity, how much are they asking for the organizer?

Sea!!!! That's the exact problem I had with the losing team's project. I have a huuuuuge cubicle at work. Its really big - but I wouldn't want another piece of furniture in my cubby. But my work area is big enough that I could put a Desk Apprentice and keep it out of the way if I needed to do so.

I just watched the show and I was surprised ppl here wanted to buy that desk, then I saw at the end the 'desk' is that lazy susan thing...that makes more sense...cuz that desk sucked!! I agree that lazy susan would be great for crafts

Yes! Crafts or for sewing stuff, maybe.. I bet it would be useful for homeschoolers too. I "want" one but don't need one and have no room for one.. but definitely a neat product.

I played the game, and got to Yes-Man. Caught the bowling ball and banana (and I think a sandwich) by mistake. But I had to catch the cat! Couldn't let him fall! The Desk Apprentice looks nice I think. I couldn't look at it too long, cause the rotating graphic of it was making me queasy.

I just ordered one today, in the middle of my cleaning the office frenzy. I have stacks of post it's, pens, pads of paper, mail that is free floating. I have places to put them all but they are out of reach. Our desk is huge and I have the room for it, despite a TV, computer and two lamps. That gives you some idea of how much stuff is 3 inches deep all over the damn place. I am waiting the 5 days it will take to arrive before I continue. Anything to put this off! Since AI is boring to me now that Constantine is gone I will put all my eggs in Tana's basket. Despite Kendra's real estate background I think Tana will take this. The video clip of unaired footage on the NBC site shows Carolyn observing Kendra unable to have a one on one with Craig.

I would think it would be more like Craig unable to have a one on one with Kendra. Boo Craig!

Neither of them did well. Carolyn was not pleased with either of them and said so to the camera. I am focusing on Kendra because I think she and Tana will stand together in the end. Craig won't be a contender.

I think you are right Fruitbat. Unless they keep Alex (for whatever reason.)

I got my desk apprentice yesterday and set it up. I would warn anyone, it is big! Requires about 22 inches by 22 inches of space to spin freely. Luckily, I do have that much room, once I eliminated several other inadequate "thing-holders". Seems to work fairly well for my needs, altho I would have like having more room for in-between size stuff like notepads and checkbooks.

Is it worth $35? I'm on a waiting list for one for my boss. Her desk is an absolute nightmare. She was going crazy this morning looking for something that was "front AND center" of her face. << rolling her eyes >>

No need to be on a wait list, Lexie. I ordered one this morning from staples.com. Kar, dang, I was hoping there was inbetween sized spaces; hard to tell from the picture.

Lexie, for me it's worth the money, since it works pretty well, except for the lack of notepad size space. It took the place of a previous 2 foot high stand that was breaking under the weight of my files - this is much sturdier. It works best for letter sized items/folders/papers and lots of pens, scissors, etc. They could have made some of the side holders shorter to accommodate shorter stuff if they wanted. There is a small holder with three spaces on the top for paper clips or little bitty items, but it takes up some of the filing space in the large center compartment. Overall, I'd give it a B.

HeyItsLori, I wish they'd make a mini version too. I really like the idea of it, but I don't need it for paper, and I don't have room for something that big.
