Yup, finally after being out of the office on vacation. (whew!)

To everyone involved in this post:

Now! This is just my observation, but I think the contest might deserve a "re-draw" due to the 72 hour rule set by Jason was not met by "cmchavez" according to the time stamps on the cooresponding message posts!!

>>if i am wrong then i strongly apologize! This is NOT meant to offend anyone! =)<<


OK! TAKE A LOOK:

on 3-5-2009 @ 10:53pm
Jason posts that the contest is over and that he is randomly selecting a winner at this time and to please stand by! now! does the 72hour window begin here?


on 3-8-2009 @ 6:57pm
Jason posts that "cmchavez" was randomly selected to win the contest and that he was notified via private message and had 72 hours to respond or he will "re-draw" another winner. or is this when the 72hour window begins?


on 3-11-2009 @ 8:50pm
cmchavez posts that he basically "just made it" to claim the winning prize. Now! I personally have nothing against any of this. I would just like to know if I am missing something here or if I am not the only one who notices that "cmchavez" did not make the 72 hour window time frame.......according to the time stamps on the posts; he did not win actually!

....just look at the time stamps!
- If Jason set the 72 hour mark at his initial 3/5/09 @ 10:53pm post, then cmchavez did not make it in time

- If Jason set the 72 hour mark at his 3/8/09 @ 6:57 post, then cmchavez barely missed the mark by at least an hour or two; which means he still did not win

what do all of you think?

You're new here, so you're probably not aware of the most important rule in our contest: no whining.

[michael vens]

hahaha!!!!!!!

who? me? ...... I no whine!!


hey Jason! what are your thoughts on Windows 7? the new taskbar is a nice addition but the OS could use a little more I think. so far it reminds me of an updated version of XP; which may be great for users who do not like Vista. do you agree?

Windows Vista was a radical departure from Windows XP - that's why so many things broke. Windows 7 is a polished version of Windows Vista - the core is the same as Vista, though improved, so they spent all their time on improving the user experience, and it really shows. I'm really excited for Windows 7 - it's going to be a *great* operating system.

.... I would have to agree! Even though it's in Beta stage, it runs smoother and faster in VMware Fusion than Vista. I personally can do with/without the AeroGlass effect. People should consider the fact that Windows 7 and Vista run much smoother when the AeroGlass effect is disabled (even though I know it's very much candy to the eye!)
