  5. That card reader is nice


  6. So Alan, I know this may be a little presumptuous of me, but should two people win who want to swap prizes, is that okay too? 🙂

  10. Kevin, think of all the things you can do with one! If it were me, i’d use it as a portable base for a Cantenna!


  11. Hi NGinuity,

    Sure swapping prizes is no problem. It usually takes a few days to get mailing addresses so if you can do it before the stuff is mailed that would be fine.

  13. Sweet. I hope I win.
