So Devsource is running another trivia contest, this one to win a Dell LCD monitor. I don’t have any questions in the contest this time, but I thought I’d mention it because of the peculiar result my comment on the previous contest has had. Since the contest, I have gotten a steady stream of comments from people around the world who obviously Googled something like “win a laptop,” found my page, didn’t bother to read it, and just put in a plea for me to please, please, please send them a free laptop. Same goes for the entry that I wrote about an offer for a free VB book (at least that one’s slightly more plausible). So now I want to see how many comments I can collect here from people who want me to send them a free LCD monitor. Or maybe the Google competition’s going to be too fierce. (I’ve noticed my “win a laptop” entry has slowed down comment-wise, so I’m guessing I’m no longer high enough in the results.)
