(For once, I'm posting something fun to the list. Feel free to delete it if you have no interest in a $250 Amazon.com gift card.) I know of at least a few MSU people who subscribe to one or more of the email lists out at Techrepublic.com for technical information. They have a feature where you can create a contact's list, and then add other TechRepublic members to that list. This month, they are having a drawing for a $250 Amazon.com gift card, if you have four or more other TechRepublic list members on your contact's list by July 31st. (see details below). I'd be happy to let MSUNAG members on TechRepublic list me as a Contact, as long as you are willing to return the favor of course. Among the list members, it shouldn't be too hard for us to each reach four contacts in short order. If you are a current subscriber to one or more TechRepublic mailing lists, and you have an updated profile on TechRepublic, you can look me up using their People hotlink, then search by username (which is my email address [log in to unmask]). Search for me, click on my user name, then click on "Add to my Contacts" and it's done. If you haven't been to www.techrepublic.com to check out their mailing lists, white papers, and general tech info, I do highly recommend their web sites. There is plenty of good content in their free areas, so much that I've not yet been tempted to join and pay for their value-added services (Called TechProGuild.) I'm not just saying that for the sweepstakes! They generally have decent, well researched articles, good white papers, and decent downloads of everything from how-to-guides to sample policy papers and tech task checklists. Enjoy, and email me if you want to exchange contacts on TechRepublic. /John Resotko, MSU College of Law (cut-n-paste of Sweepsteaks information) TECHREPUBLIC'S GET CONNECTED SWEEPSTAKES When it comes to IT, no one should have to go it alone, especially when having a few online connections could earn you $250 to spend at Amazon.com. For complete contest details, check out our Get Connected Sweepstakes page: http://ct.com.com/click?q=88-ecoPQQKoiOoVGXxcjhbajVTvUDel On July 31, if you have four members on your TechRepublic Contacts list, you'll be automatically entered into a drawing for a $250 Amazon.com gift card. If you've already got four Contacts, you're already entered. If you haven't made four Contacts yet, start shopping around for some valuable online allies now, so you can go shopping for some valuable online merchandise later. http://ct.com.com/click?q=9d-kkWWQv0fowiBoRuHnm8JqOhIpvaD See complete rules for eligibility details. http://ct.com.com/click?q=b2-M4YwQX09AuUVzO76zj4uBAM6Lc_q John A.
