I'm getting a new computer system and, between getting file transfers and equipment coming and going, I may be away from computer access for a few days (definitely not going to be doing any graphics). I certainly congratulate whoever gets chosen to be in the magazine and wins this month's wonderful challenge. It's so much fun to see new people join in and the people who have been around awhile staying active on the forum. I look forward to having some good reads when I get back to having a computer at my house again (I'll probably be peeking in from work, but it's going to be brief, at best). :) Write on!!!

hmm..I thought the constant hounding from contestants might be a factor..;) Good luck with the file transfers..;)

LOL....no, that wouldn't be it. Since I have no influence or input on any judging, I have a benign attitude toward contestants...especially since I know how it is to be waiting and pacing. I just got a call. My new blue baby is in the store. Let the transfers begin!!! Well, actually, they will start transferring tomorrow. I'm doing some waiting and pacing of my own with this computer business. :)

Ah, but what shade of blue is your computer? Enjoy your new baby; may it grow up nicely. ;-)

Royal blue. :) Very cool. Like a sapphire jewel. Hey,you know, I'm no fool, More than looks is my rule, The color made me drool But it's also a power tool. Yeah, I know, old swf can't rap.

My blue computer is installed. It is missing some of my stuff, but the computer itself is here and I am back on line. More or less. :) And it is very blue. And very cool. Though I'm not sure I like this XP thingy yet.
