A few days ago we started a small contest for people to share stories with a few Dell Axim discount codes to use at Dell.com. The winners are:

• PhillyPocket
• ChrisW
• Celtic
• Newsboy
• Lex
• gmoehl


Also thanks to pmradio for sending a few extra codes bringing the total to 6. :way to go: If you won, the code was sent to the account we have in our database for you in your user preferences. If you don't see it, check the box that spam goes to. And remember, they expire January 5, so hurry up and use them!

Default We're all winners!

Thanks for the opportunity, unfortunately I won't be able to exercise the prize by Wednesday.

If there is anyone out there who can, just PM me. First request that promises to name their next child after me gets it! :twisted:

How about I just name my PPC after you? I'm not having any more kids...on purpose anyway.

Could you post the contest winners stories in one place?
I'm lazy and don't want to sift through all 91 replies looking for the winners :wink:

I'm even lazier and don't want to go through and find them again and copy/paste them to one place.

You could use the fantastic search engine to look for posts by the winners name in threads with crap in the title. Should narrow it right down.

Default Winners' Posts

I went through and found the posts made by the winners. Here they are - in one place - for easy access. They are in no particular order . . . . I think that I found them all.

Newsboy
Worst Christmas gift I got ever: lined paper.

When I was in the 4th grade, we had a secret santa gift exchange. I think the price limit was $5 or $10. I convinced my mother to buy a really cool battery powered 4x4 truck that drove over anything! I couldn't wait to see what I got from someone else in class!

When I opened my secret santa gift, I found...400 sheets of college ruled white paper.

I kept it together in class, but it was pretty apparent I was disappointed. I've never been so sad to get anything in my life. I went home that afternoon and cried to my mom for half an hour.

We later found out that the mother who had bought the paper as a gift thought that it had to be "school related".

I would love one of these codes! I had to sell my iPaq 1910 earlier this year to raise some money so I could stay in grad school, and have missed it ever since. For the first time in my adult life I am sans Pocket PC!

Phillypocket
Hey, I never complain about any gifts. I'm just happy people take the time to think about me. However, I am planning to purchase a 50v (hopefully thursday or friday) and every little bit helps.


ChrisW
My brother-in-law was given, by my father, a bunch of tube socks. The socks had my father's initials on them in black marker!

Celtic
The worst gift I have ever gotten was from my mother-in-law. She bought me one of those $4.99 electronic organizers you find at the checkout counter. She "knew" I was into those things. I tink I'll keep using my Jornada, thanks!!!

Lex
One bad and one funny: 1) A 12" high, battery operated lucite angel with fiber optic wings and color-changing LED lights in the base. Looks perfect for the double-wide, if we ever get one.

2) In a large family gift opening party we do each Christmas, with everyone looking on, my wife gave me this great looking tie, gold base color with 1/2" squares and a blue, hey that's a Viagra pill in each square ! It's the Pfizer Viagra tie. No further comments or puns from me.

Ghmoel
Mother-in-law gave us a 7 dollar toilet seat! Needless to say, it will be returned.

Many thanks ! I donated my code to a deserving friend who'll put the unit to very good use.
