Win a Linux box!

[Algee7]

MrC's is giving away a free computer!! Get details here. (http://www.mrcs.net/)

[socalgal]

All employees of Ultimate Bulletin Board and Webmasters, Administrators and Moderators of any forum using UBB software are not eligible.

Darn!

[Algee7]

Sorry... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[Joel Kleppinger]

You tell em, socalgal. What's up with that?

[Romulus2]

Hmmm . . . it doesn't say anything about families of UBB people. Now, my wife is rather keen on Linux . . . http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[socalgal]

Good point Rom! I do have a friend or two about... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[SalaTar]

Go with it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
And yes Trace of addy is easy

C'mon you guys! You know it has to do with the appearance of favoritism if a fellow mod should win.
And, as far as being a registered member, it is, after all, a PROMOTION! As with any promotion the idea is to 'drum up' business by drawing attention to the site, store etc. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Joel Kleppinger]

Hmmm... my roommate has always wanted to learn Linux. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif (at least he will when I'm through with him http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif).

Favoritism? There's no way I could be MrC's favorite - that'd have to be socalgal... so as long as she doesn't win, he doesn't have anything to worry about. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[pickel]

Socalgal: I'll register for you and if I win you can have the computer. Im not much on Penquins and have enough on my hands with all the junk on my computer that I haven't had time to learn. I think I'm already registered but will have to dig out my password. Got til end of the month. Be thinking of a coool
approach; maybe begging might have some merit.
Poor ole country boy needs third computer for his granddaughter ( 18 months) so she'll have a good start in life. Reduce the digital divide, keep her occupied while were surfing.
But, I am quite serious. I doubt my literary attributes would lend themselves to such a contest since my grasp of computers is quite limited, but as Cheech and Chong once said "You never know" ( Big Bambo) Keep ya posted!!

P.S. If you not familiar with that album( I'm from the vinyl age) I can email you a short
explanation.

SalaTar, you rotter! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Algee7~ A promotion??!! And I thought you were just being nice . . . http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[socalgal]

Lol, thanks for the offer, Pickel, that's really nice of you. But that would be cheating... (goshdarn). I am a Moderator and really couldn't do that - it would be unfair.

I was just razzin' Algee7, besides I don't have the room for another box, I can barely manage the 3 I have now! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[Algee7]

socalgal, 'razz' away! Keeps the thread up top!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[deep_sky]

you mean i have to register there just to enter the contest? I think it should be open to any registed member of any UBB forum....

[pickel]

Socalgal: What's wrong with an "April's Fool's" present ??? Nothin' in the rules about that!!! Maybe I could have my own contest for moderators only and since you're the only one I know. you'd be a shoein!! HA http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Cupid's on his way...you can run but you can't hide http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Whew...Still registered at MrC's. Will be carrying my portable tape recorder, dictating
notes and planning my essay. I can knock off
250 words without coming up for air http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[Algee7]

pikel,

Did you enter yet?

[Romulus2]

Hey, Algee7, pickel is more likely to enter if you at least spell his name right! MrC calls him "pickle"; now you call him "pikel". The poor guy is going to suffer some sort of identity crisis! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

[pickel]

Woe is me http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif. Some folks just can't get it right*? No, Algee7, I've been playing with my
...... new CD-RW, burn baby burn. However, I do have some fine ideas and have installed new batteries in my dictator. Something like
" Tux meets Godzilla" BTW, do penquins eat pickels??? Well, I'll have to research all all this in depth ( get it Mr. C)Back to the future http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I will be posting the final draft but only after the contest is over.
Unless B.O. is on my Hdd, then the Cult will have the winning essay, darn http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif
Still have those lines on my "Autoexec.bat"
Socalgal, whew....Wish me luck, guys http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

the pickEl

[Algee7]

A rose by any name... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Actually, I got confused cuz I knew it wasn't spelled the same as the cucumber type pickle. Was concentrating on the last two letters; it's not easy when you have to intentionally misspell a common word... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Looking forward that fantabulous essay he's composing. Already bribed the Contest Administrator to show it to me soon as it arrives!!!

[MR COMPUTER]

So thats where the other Cyrix chip went!... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Romulus2]

LOL http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

[pickel]

First draft complete, wasn't the best thing I ever wrote.But, I have plenty of time to change it. Can I enter my essay on a CD???
Got the burnin' fever. This way ,Mr C, you'll have it in case your HDD smokes!!! Good nite , all

the pickel

[Algee7]

Sure you can, if you can figure out how to email the cd to: contest@mrcs.net!!

[Algee7]

Cyrix Chip??? Heck no! All he wanted was a Big Mac and fries http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Sounds like you've been getting rooked http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
