Map,
While you were busy wondering how to fool Michael Ernest, he already did by winning this week's giveaway! Guess what was his only post during the week??

Request for a name change!!
Having said that, I would still give it up to Michael for all other contributions he make to the forum. Go on..Michael

It's certainly strange not only to win with the minimum possible effort (1 post) but also with the least substantive message possible. What is the deal with that autowin code? I busted my hump when Sing Li's book was up for grabs and got /dev/null for my efforts. Carl's code is definitely rigged, but the wrong way.
Menon you're very generous to allow my rather dismal victory. If you like, you're welcome to my copy after I've reviewed it.

I knew it. Fixed, Fixed, Fixed :roll:
The best thing about the giveaways is actually having the authors online answering questions.... but wouldn't it be nice to win just the once

Using my personal victory ratio of 1750:1, Nigel, you've only got an order of magnitude more posts before you should strike it rich. Keep contributing!

Wow! You're very generous Michael!
I wouldn't mind reviewing the book after you're done. But more than that I look forward to your help/inputs/suggestions at your forum, when I start with my RMI project in a while. I am sure you would help if I ask RMI questions!
Thanks,
Hema
