Hoe do you figure this one??? She won the darn computer!!

[pickel]

Well, after all my hard work, streching my brain(?) to the limit, using every little verbal gimick that I could.... my wife goes and wins the LINUX Box. I just got finished talking to her and she didn't even know!!
Naturally, she thought I was full of it, but it's offical. This box will go to good use
( once we figure out the Linux O.S.) and will
be well cared for. We already have a full sized Penquin we got for our granddaughter around Christmas time. Thanks Mr C and Algee7
for having this contest and making my lady
so proud and happy. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I know this would be sacrelidge, but couldnt you just reformat and put windows on it if you dont get Linux?

uh oh, I think people are gunna be after me now...

*checks the safety on his phaser and glares*

j/k :-)

I use both. Mainly 'cos I've got so durned far to go with Linux. Win runs my games and other cute stuff without any fuss....and yet I *really* would like to get to the point where I do not have to depend on it anymore..it can be so danged annoying!

And Pickel...Congratulations on the prize box!

[Ed_S]

Just read her letter over at MrC's, sounds like this was greatly due to YOUR 'puter addiction!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Now she has a new challenge, two actually. Learning Linux - and KEEPING YOU OFF OF IT!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif j/k

Well, Pickel, you know I had to run over to MrC's and see your wife's winning entry.

Congratulations "Verdee"! (aka Pickle's Wife) - a fine presentation and worthy of the Contest Administrator's decision! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Now, Verdee, if Pickel starts giving you grief and tries to take over that machine, you just come on and post over here and let us know, and we'll get it fixed and locked up all nice and tight for you! hehe http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[pickel]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes, Ed_S, if it wasn't for folks like yourself, getting pickel so worked up, it would have never happened. But, Socalgal, I really will call on you when he starts getting sticky fingers and tries to "mess" with my 'puter. And you KNOW he will! He's a man, right? I never thought I'd stand a chance - life's great, isn't it!

Socalgal, I'm now registered. Give me a buzz when you get some free time. Us gals have to stick together.

Verdee
