READ THE INFORMATION BELOW THE PICTURES BEFORE YOU REPLY!

I am giving away three items. A propeller, using the Real Random object will randomly choose three people (if there are that many) from those who reply to this thread.

==============================================================

First place prize (only because it is the most expensive): SX Tech Board with SX Chip, et al.
attachment.php?attachmentid=73434&stc=1&d=1285357321

==============================================================

Second place: three SX chips and one oscillator
attachment.php?attachmentid=73435&stc=1&d=1285357334

==============================================================

Third place: USB SX Key
attachment.php?attachmentid=73436&stc=1&d=1285357346

==============================================================

Winners will be asked to help pay for shipping (for USA: $2 for first and second place, $1 for third -- outside of USA, we'll discuss) -- this is best if done through PayPal. You must be willing to pay this if you enter the drawing.

If you enter, you will have a chance to win all three items, but if you do not wish to receive a specific item, please state it in your post.

I am hoping only people who will really use these items will enter, as they hold a great deal of sentimental value to me, and I want them to go to a loving, caring home (just kidding).

The cutoff will be Monday (9/27/10) at 3pm PST (or shortly thereafter, when I post the cutoff in the thread).

    Hi Bob Fwebb

    If I pay the postage, would you consider sending either the Tech Board or the SX 28's out to darkest Africa. I use SX, mainly for interfacing computers and PLCs and some simple automation.

    The EOL has hit me quite hard (because I generally used the SX48 boards). I suppose I will have to get one of those Stamp type Basic programs for PICs (16F and 18F).

    Kind regards from New Guelderland - South Africa

    No problem, I can get an estimate of shipping costs so you can pay that amount before I ship it.

    Are you in the drawing for the first two items then?

    I love the SX! I have a bunch of chips but could really use a spare USB Key. Could you put me in the game for just that?

    THANKS!

    "thereafter" has come and gone.

    Anything after this post does not qualify.

    Just kidding (if you read that last post before I changed it).

    With a number representing each person who entered, I had a propeller generate three random numbers for each of the items. I have done the drawing (hit the button on the propeller board), and here is what came out:

    John M Bond - Tech Board
    Microcontrolled - SX chips
    wass - SX key

    Congrats to the winners.

    WOW, Thank you so much!

    I pretty much only use SX chips in my projects and I'm constantly wondering what I'm going to do when/if the one key I have dies (or I lose it). You've given me much peace of mind.

    Thanks yet again,
    Katie

    Sorry about this guys, last week was action packed for me. I got your items shipped out today, and they should be there by Friday or Monday. I added a couple other trinkets in with the things you won.

    Enjoy your new toys!
