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 !

Um.. different gnome. The one I'm talking about is the default window manager/desktop for Ubuntu (at least until Natty, the next version).

And I don't know how good my word is, remember I'm the guy who has boots coming on the 1-year plan.
My son put the gnome one on his. To dumb it down for me he said it was because he likes gnomes!!! LMAO Pretty bad that your getting your netbook before your boots. Good thing they didnt have to mesure anything to put you on the back order list for the net book!!! LMAO

Ah, the poor cow. I have a feeling they are going to let her die of old age before they start making my boots.

I"m waiting for the gift card I won from Dentyne to use to order extra RAM. Hope it comes soon.

On an unrelated note the spice rack I won just a few days ago arrived yesterday. Now that was fast.
DL Blair must not have ran that contest!! LMAO

I don't even know what my avatar is. My best friend says it is a "Domo" and her kids have them as toys. I figure it is some japanese thingy.

Which distro did he use? Ubuntu? I might install both gnowm and xde. Ubuntu Netbook uses Unity which I don't know if I like (and which Natty is going to use as default instead of Gnome). Ah decisions. I might just try PinGuy distribution, it's based on Ubuntu and I've read nice things about it. I'm pretty sure it uses Gnome. Either way it saves a lot of work installing extras.

I'm betting that I get stuff from the Snus Challenge before I get my boots. I'm sure those ear buds will ship before April.

Yeah, remind me to be careful when the prize is actually a certificate to present to the manufacturer. That way no one takes responsibility for any sort of timely delivery.

No, laugh out loud it was a blog giveaway., though I think McCormick supplied the prize and shipped it.

They blew me off too. Said I won and never got it. I'm starting to expect this kind of treatment. (where did I put that Rodney Dangerfield joke book???)

April? Where are you gonna wear boots in April? That's a long time. I want my netbook. They should give us one that really is valued at $500 + as stated by them. The ones we are getting are worth $399.00 at the most. Who comes up with the "valued at" price? I hope we all win a trip to the ranch next contest. It would be cool to meet all the SD'ers there. nod
Have you priced MS Office? It ain't exactly free.

The Chrome notebooks are valued at $450, but a good chunk of that is the 2 years of 100MB/mo Verizon 3G service.
