536770 2007-03-29 08:50:00 Hey everybody. I have recently got an email from lawrie_dipple@fairfaxbm.co.nz

In it, the email says I have won one of the Vista+Office packs from the Microsoft's $200,000 giveaway, and that they have arrived and are ready to be picked up.

Lawrie says it could be couriered, such and such, and thanks me for supporting PC World.

Well, so what's the case? Am I truly a lucky dog, or have I been pre-April fooled?

Cheers for any input!

536771 2007-03-29 09:05:00 Did you enter that competition? In was in the Feb NZ PC World magazine, and all the winners names are published in the April magazine.

Sounds like you have won yourself a prize. Congratulations. :D

536772 2007-03-29 09:08:00 Yep, I entered that competition. When does the April edition come out?

Cheers for the congrats, Jen. I will keep my Vista Ultimate, though. Then sell the Office. By the way, how much is the Office worth?

Wow, I'm really gobsmacked. The best price I've ever won was probably a local raffle worth only $50. Until now. :D

Someone get me to a bed before I collapse....lol

Hehe, do you want the Office pctek? I do not need it. :p

Beeswax, of course I can get (him? Her) to send it, but I'd prefer pick it up....besides, I need to sharpen my driving skills. :p

536776 2007-03-29 09:43:00 By the way, how much is the Office worth?Looks like it is worth just under $1000. Jen (38)
536777 2007-03-29 10:09:00 Sweet, sweet. :p

I'd be around $1000 richer than. I'll keep my Vista. :D

536778 2007-03-29 10:09:00 Hmmmm

My name was in there but I have not received any e-mails. Has anybody else that saw their name in the winners list received a confirmation e-mail?
