NETTIME TECHNOBLATHER WRITING CONTEST: WIN BIG MONEY AND SWELL PRIZES!!!
YOUR MIND NEED NOT BE PRESENT TO WIN!
In the interests of stimulating more focused blather on this list, I will
pay $100 US for the best posting that incorporates all the phrases on the
following list in a single posting.
The phrases need not be included in order, although that would be a nice
trick, but all need to be present in order to win. Length is up to you but
please try not to make my eyes glaze over with unremitting blatheration.
All entries must be posted to this list by June 30, 1998. There's one
judge, moi, and I'm tough but fair.
Other prizes are:
Second Prize: One new copy of Norton Crashguard Deluxe.
Third Prize: One new copy of Norton Uninstall.
Fourth Prize: One copy (unsigned0 of Evan Schwartz's WEBONOMICS (Because I
have it lying around the office and there's no way in hell I'm ever going
to read it.)
Fifth Prize: One copy (signed) of my book, RULES OF THE NET in either
English, German or Japanese. (Because I've got extras and won't need to
read it again.)
To be sure your entry is received you might want to send a copy to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
These are the phrases that pays. Use them all in one mindboggling post to
win. Get cracking. I *know* you can do it.
