The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I've been contemplating several ideas to make this forum a bit more fun. So I'm going to try a few things, let me know what you think of them as we go. [ :p]

    This month there will be a contest for 40 dollars, sent through Paypal.

    Contest rules: Starting tomorrow, April 17th and ending on May 1st, every legitimate post posted on this board will constitute an entry for the contest. At the end of the allotted time I will randomly draw one of the names; they of course will win the money.

    I will have to have an email address to send the money. I changed the prize from a mouse to money because. . .its just easier for me! And people like money more than mice. Or so my friends tell me. Lol.

    how about weighing more heavily posters that make more quality posts than just somebody with one random post? Just a thought! Very cool initiative you are taking here though.

    Money over a mouse, who would want such a thing. You can never have too many mouses, I mean come on you've got two hands afterall you need at least two.

    But... but... I have *4* mice!! 2 Adults and 2 little baby mice! So... I would have needed a bit more cash to feed them all. But.. we do not know who won! Who won??? YEAH! More dough to spend on SEXY SONY!! [ :)]

    PS to SLAT... I LOVE the quote on the bottom of your posts! It is something I think Chris Stevens would have used at the end of one of his monologues at KBHR Radio... Cicely, Alaska. [ :)]
