SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)

[TekWarren]

I thought I would share something amazing that happend to me today. Another forum that I am a part of that is specifically for notebook users recently had a contest. The lowdown is you had to refer new members and they had to make at least one good post...and they would be verified.

The Prize:


For those of you who don't know who Sager is they build custom notebook systems. They are comparable, and most cases are using the same hardware as Alienware systems.

The WINNER:


I was BLOWN AWAY...I mean this in all honesty when I say "I never win ANYTHING" ...I've just accepted that. The contest was based on referals. You could refer new people to sign up and they hade to make at least one "good" post. Everything was checked...we even had a guy spamming referals who is in some trouble atm. Anyway The first day I get my little circle of computer minded friends and tell them about the site. I get 5 referals in the first day or two...These are the ONLY referals I get the whole month, others where in the teens and some up over 20...I wasn't holding my breath, if I got a few more people to the site and they liked it cool...no loss as "never win anything" ...untill today

Its funny to...I JUST finished putting together a laptop for myself to take with me on a deployment coming up.

The site is www.notebookforums.com the...contest is over so no worries I am not trying to trick anyone into going there against their will. Just a wealth of information and knowledge if you ever need it or care to check it out.

~HAPPY SNAKE DANCE~

Sa-weet! Take both laptops with you and you can have your own lan parties!

Best thing I ever won was a king sized hand made and hand quilted Hawaiian quilt* from a raffle for one whole dollar.

*For those not familiar with Hawaiian quilts, they are usually a simple pattern, very-Rorschach test/snowflake, in 2 or 3 colors. "Snowflake" pattern is cut from a single piece of cloth and then sewn by made to the background piece, using a technique called "needle turning" (the edge of the fabric is folded under using a needle and then held down with your thumb and fore-finger while your other hand sews it down in place. Then Hawaiian quilts are quilted by hand with "echo" quilting. So, the king size quilt I have represents thousands of man hours...rawr...
