Howdy everybody. . .  i am relatively new to the internet community and i really hope i am not asking stupid questions . . .   
I want to learn how to get free stuff. . .  I heard some people submit some surveys and receive like a free trip, or one of those fancy mp3 players. . .  so if someone could please help me, I'd appriciate it deerly.   
Thanks a lot.

There are thousands of free stuff online, the one you are interested in will determine the direction of recommendation any body will give you. Eg Book, sofware etc.
