Re: [LAU] Most Loaded Desktop competition

Hi,

I am calling for image submissions for the "Most Loaded Desktop"
competition.

Deadline: 30 June 2009

You can see previous years winners at this address.

So far I have not received any submissions.

Is it really possible that no one wants to make an attempt at knocking
Tim Orford off his perch as King of the "Most Loaded Desktop"?

Those shots were taken 3 years ago. Surely by now someone has gone a
little further than where Tim was heading back in 2006.

Don't be scared. Take this opportunity to show how far you have come and
the status of your favorite apps.

What about a category for "Most Loaded Netbook"? I'm sure that many
people would find that interesting.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cheers.
