Congratulations to Richard also, lucky  !!
Also congratulations to Stan and Michael. Well done guys!
Id also like to thank the M&M's (and all the mvp's) for the great job they do, and the wonderful site they have created. Im glad to be a part of it.
- I've been working in IT for about 2 and half years now, and I've always wanted to get involved with a forum/ online community, but I couldn’t find one I felt was friendly to newbie's, or patient enough with people who are just starting out. Your site has been an absolute joy to visit, and as you probably know I do so, every day. I'm really glad you consider my contribution worthy of mention, and that I don’t come off as an annoying smarty pants, lol!
Thanks again.
PS. Any chance of swapping Vista for an XBOX360 (Elite of course)

Robert,
You want an XBox? Really?
I'd go for an XBOX360 as well :) But I may have a laptop coming that will run that Vista just fine. My current computer wont run it.
So where is Stan?
