After our US-only test with Microsoft in December, we've convinced them to raise the stakes for the prize AND open it to anyone, worldwide. Use our sample app to try Windows Azure and you could win an HP TouchSmart laptop or a copy of Win 7 ultimate (see the info page[^] terms and conditions for full info). You have to enter in February, so the earlier, the better!
Enter today and tell a friend![^]

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

I believe you are thinking of Global Dynamic.

Try not to scream at the CEO and frighten the entire IT department. And good luck.

Possibly - though maybe his CEO reads CP too (seems to be the other tech guy there after John).

I suspect that where John's attitude towards these guys is concerned, something about apathy and a rodent's posterior comes to mind...

I'm not sure that wouldn't be cause for celebration given the tales he's been telling.
Sometimes sanity is more important than money. Not often. Just sometimes.

Sanity matters more than money when you've already got food, shelter and clothing. If John still has a mortgage, then I'd say it would be unwise to try to make that call by posting his intentions in a public website.Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.
