Folks,

Inclement weather giving you the blahs? Tired of looking
at your significant other and ungrateful kids? Ready for
something fun and challenging?

Then check out the IDL Quiz and Essay Contest:

http://www.dfanning.com/misc_tips/idl_essay.html

Fabulous prizes, big money, and Fame Galore (if she
is available) can be yours! Contest ends soon. Be sure
to get your entries in now!!

Cheers,

David

P.S. Bonus clue for IDL Newsgroup readers ONLY: that
is an alligator clip on the end of a stiff wire. (Please
don't ask me anything more, as I am unauthorized to offer
even this much detail.)

I think, David, that it means "Get a grip on yourself, or RSI will
shaft you."

Classic! :o)

Is there a special category in the contest for pithy comments related to recent c.l.i.p

It kind of looks like a pointer, but I think it is only for holding
references.
