That's pretty cool. I hope your switch over goes well.

hardly seems possible that anything dealing with windows will go over smoothly (that is what it's coming from)

Ok, we have a winner. It took a bit of crunching numbers for the time period we were dealing with...

But I'm proud to announce the winner of the Referral contest. Not only did they have the most referrals with 5 people referred, each of them had posts in varying degrees, and came in with the highest total posts as well.

It was close, and thanks to the others that brought new folks into the board, and congrats to our winner: Skdvr!
