Rolex Green Pouch Giveaway #7 Rolex & Computers

We have TO GIVE AWAY:

2 Genuine Rolex Green (with gold "Rolex") Suede Pouches; and

$100 donated to the charity of your choice (the winner can nominate the charity when they are so advised and the charity shall be subject to forum approval).

Many thanks to DavidSW and BodyBump (Oscar) who I dedicate this give away to for all their support of the forum and their kindness and goodwill towards other members in general.

As we all share our experiences here through our computers one must have regard to the relationship between Rolex and computers as it is in our day to day lives.

Moreover, some of the precision in a Rolex is due to the technical sophistication of computer/robotic technology.

Hand made goods and human input will always have pride of place, but technology is the new fronteer.

Accordingly, it is appropriate to have a giveaway theme of Rolex and Computers.

So break out the camera, and show your Rolex and some form of computer/robotic technology, it might be your new wiz-bang laptop computer, or your very first computer you ever owned, or your computer aided hi-tech machine at work, or who knows it could be a copy of some computer script that will change our lives as we might never have thought possible.

Conditions of entry:
1. Anyone can enter (except me) and entry is free of charge.
2. Enter as many times as you wish, but the most you can win is one (1) pouch or the $100 to go to your charity of choice which will be paid by the forum to the charity expressed to be personally on your (the winner's name) behalf.

This giveaway closes midnight on Sunday 18 October 2009.

Judge's decisions are final.

Another in the series of themes "Rolex and ....." giveaways.

Good luck to all and thanks for participating.

My phone is like a computer. It can browse the internet, check internet, has a full keyboard and most importantly play games.
