[ot] I won a toy!
 

Not Jeep related unless you count being able to test things.

The story:
Last week I was in DC for TechNet 2004. Large gathering and
display of tech companies plus some real good speakers of
the 3-4 star rank.

Talked to a few companies, got a few unexpected job offers,
but back to the subject: threw my biz card in on a Tektronix
O-Scope drawing.

Didn't think a thing about it till someone called my cell last
Monday and said, "Congrats, you won!".

So here, sitting in front of the monitor is a bran spanking new
Tektronix TDS2002 two channel digital storage oscilloscope with
test probes.

To quote Dilbert, I'm in nerdvana. :)

Don't remind me. I've got a friend that has two Onkyo amps that need
to be fixed. Damn things weigh over 100lbs. It's easier to go there
than truck them here.
