Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I just received my Playstation Eye, Move Controller and Sports Champions Game from the Coca-Cola game someone posted on this site. It says $99.00 value. Glad I won. Now I'm waiting for the rest of my Marlboro gear and my months worth of Toaster Strudels.
Im glad you got the playstation Eye. I was hoping some one would. Glad I figured out how to play Cocacola games for free!!!! Congradulations!!!

Doesn't matter which you pick, it's a time-based contest.

FYI, if you really like that keyboard, and have a 2nd keyboard for temp use, soak the dirty one in deionized water for a few hours, then let it dry for a week or so.

Otherwise, you can try popping off the caps on hte spill area, wiping with a damp cloth, drying with a hair dryer, and putting the keys back on.

Google for service manuals, see how hard it is to remove the key caps. Then you can try deionized water on each switch, and hair dryer it upside down.

Then again, if you can find the service manual, and have the tools, just pull the keyboard out and wash it out (easier than you might think, I've disassembled quite a few laptops, some make it really easy to remove the keyboard for just your reason (spills), while others make it ridiculously hard).

You need deionized or distilled water so you don't leave any minerals behind to cause conductance issues later - DO NOT use tap water!

The Snus challenge is probably the same as Camel's Snus challenge -- Sign up for it, they send you some coupons, and then it asked you to put your thoughts in their "journal" -- that was about it.. couldn't win anything at least on Camel's site by doing it.
Yeah, well, except Marlboro actually gives out a lot of stuff and makes Camel's giveaways look like...

Thanks! I have the books that came with it, it's not but a year old. I'll see what I can find. It gets aggrevating sometimes when it sticks.

The next deal we should be looking for is an upgrade from Windows 7 Starter for the netbook. If anyone finds one, please post it here! Guess we should wait & see if Marlboro upgraded it for us already, though.
