I've been looking all over the site to see if this sweepstakes is done. I only see two winners, anymore going to be announced?

Well as you said, from this link;
https://www.techrepublic.com.com/1200-22-5672734.html,
it seems that only two draws have ben conducted. I think they are having legal issues with reaching people and getting the prizes and releases taken care of. Perhaps people that aren't around too much or have changed email addy's or something.

Anyhoot, last draw was June 1st but things have been really quiet since the first two draws, so there must be issues.

listed the user name?

Watch it be someone that just signed up for TR the day of the drawing too.....

Probably OZ Media won or maybe Maxwell, Joe Moore, DKlippert, Ana, or TheChas, maybe Bfilmfan.

come to think of it, I haven't seen Maxwell, Ana, Dklippert, TheChas or Joe Moore post in a very long time. wonder what happened to them. Joe was the Windows network guru. He knows more about Windows servers that Microsoft does.

j.lupo is probably right. Someone who just registered probably won and they'll get a coffee mug WITH the IPod.

Who in their right mind would want a mug with a narrow base like that? That would kill my keyboard within a week!

Low profile and a wide base a must!

I use the Caffine molicule mug from ThinkGeek.com myself.

And that was me that made the new member comment.... (credit given where credit due?)

As for Max and Chas, have seen the both of them within the last week. Check the friday yuks.

my apologies for not giving you credit for the comment!!! My mistake !!!

I'd make a coffe mug joke but I think I milked that one for about as much as I can.

The i-pod comes with a buit-in coaster on the front?

I would be happy with the Coffee Mug.

This was about 3 - 4 years ago, there was a computer games discussion board I came across purely on chance mind you. Just so happened they were in a contest for a free game (Red Faction was the game, a pretty decent , but not the greatest, FPS game for the PC).

Guess who won the grand prize (a copy signed by the developers).....moi! Guess how long I was a member of the site.....3 days, made a total of 4 posts.

I guess the guys who were there for years and had literally 8000+ posts got a little peeved..

LOL

The only time EVER that I won anything with dollar value greater than 2 bucks btw.

to get peeved at you! That pod is mineminemine!

"I may be a coward, but I'm a GREEDY little coward".

Although I can't share much yet, I will say that the winner has been a member for over 3 years.

Do you want my office phone number?

It's actually drizzly today, keeps the dust down on the logging roads, so I am sitting around doing nothing.
Sun will be out by noon though so you might need to give me time to get back in later.

Oh, and thanks!
:)

ROFL. and to spite me cuz I've been posting coffee mug jokes, they will throw in a coffee mug to boot.

I was just being a smartass right? :)

Oz! your a great source of info [thats a compliment] and your down to earth comments prosed in humor are great. TechRepublic would be a dry sterile place and not much fun, not to mention not much help to those that need it without your imput.

Beside, I just bought a coffee mug so I don't want one anymore.

I wondered what the round area was for.

cup holder on the PC. That one automatically goes in and out of the machine with the press of a button.

A client bought me a computer with THREE cup holders in it two years ago. If you only have one drink and a chaser going, the third tray actually doubles as a DVD player! It's just too cool what the computing industry has brought us.

I still can't get the three button stapler to work though, no matter how hard I hammer on it.

than a dumbass!

Just don't download Metalica to the player or you will be posting from jail....

It would be a true indicator that I had finally gone insane. The white coats would finally catch up to me and it would be all over.

Have you HEARD the new Metallica? Or anything since Ride The Lightning? Yuck! Wouldn't buy it and certainly would be caught dead with it in my MP3 player!

Lars can have that one to himself.

Metalica only had a few good songs. unforgiven, enter the sandman, After that, blah blah. Greedy little buggers. They were popular when you could get their songs off of Napster. Once that went away no one wanted em.

Did I chose a bad time to move my DNS settings? I can give you an alternate email address...

You have a link to view the winners , yet the winner isn't posted there..am I missing something?

lol

Really we are....

is good for the soul I am told. :) I am sure they will post all the winners at the end.

Looking a your avatar, I think you've won all six!

Have to set your avitar?

the foot peddle - No? I couldn't figure out why they would make them with 3 buttons. 2 I understood - On/Off. Guess I should have thought about the stapler, where did you load the staples?

I was with j.lupo. My wife still can't figure out where to load up the bobbin or needle and keeps pressing the any key when the sewing machine program loads up. Can anyone help out with that? She keeps threatening to plant more rose bushes and Im stumped.

But ya know, Some outfit had a computer case mod contest, Think it was PC Gamer magazine and ya know, some guy actually built in a Mr. Coffee into a computer case, complete with coffee mug holder [non techrepublic coffee mug size, sorry!!]. Someone over at PC Gamer Mag ought to remember that one.

of the person that keeps trying to fax by holding the paper to the screen and pressing enter! I KNOW it isn't a fax image screen on top. I thought that was the tele.
