1) General Interest

Ah, remember the good old days?  Vendors used to court our audiences.  They used to show up with their dog & pony shows and shower us with freebies to give away to the audience.  Sigh... that doesn't happen much any more.

Several years ago we almost totally ran out of gifts and prizes to give away, but something always seems to come in whenever we get low.

Well, we're low again.  I'm betting that many of you have items that you no longer want or need, but that would make good giveaways.  We would welcome handy little items that would make drawing prizes.  You might have a number of items around the house to donate to keep the fun going.

Doc's Place
Every Friday morning 10am - noon    FREE!

Off to a great start last week.  I'll be speaking about Windows, Vista, Internet, Web 2.0 and more - each week!  Doc
