Did I overlook one of the rules that we had to do a recap post listing off the projects?

Not that I read! I am just wondering since I had over 120 additional post if the second 60 counts as another entry.

So, the contest is officially over. I will get together all the qualifiers over the next 24 hours or so....I'll have to go and take a look at some of the projects and posts just to keep everyone honest...Then Oleg will draw out the winner and we'll announce it.

IF everyone that entered, wants to sum up their qualifying post count and projects here, it will be easier and quicker...I'll still run through them all, but it will help.

Thanks, and much appreciation to all who participated....One thing for sure, the odds of someone winning a very nice prize is about as high as you could get. Someone is going to have a very nice unit very shortly in hand, that didn't cost them anything but a little time and effort.
