Well, the subject sort of says it all.
GSWV OCT.99 Issue - No contest winner, no entry :( 
I put a folder in the OCT.99 issue of Gs WorldView, with a very simple and easy
to win contest with a really nice prize to award
to the winner.  Not one single reply or contest entry did I receive.

I was really astounded not receiving one single contest entry
on this :(   It's too bad also, as the contest expired on 10/31/99
without an entry or a winner. 

With such a ZERO response on such an easy contest, I've decided not to bother
with any more such contests in any new GS WorldView issues.  With no entries,
what's the logic of having such contest?

The prize (for the OCT.99 Issue, which has now expired - without any entry or
winner) WAS an Apple II TranswWarp card for the Apple IIe.

I've turned that contest prize over to a relative to auction off on eBay.com. 
I'll be donating the proceeds from that items auction
to Dr. Tom's FAV non-profit charity FAFUBA.

As such, at least some good will come of the effort.

Just thought I'd let everybody know of my dissapointment on having no entry
reply for that (now expired) contest from the GS WorldView
Oct.99 issue.   Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes these days in
the A2 community, when you try to offer something COOL like this
and get no responses to your contest. 

Perhaps you might like to check out the contents of the Nov99
issue ANYWAY.  You never know what might show up in it, unless you check it out
each day.

New additions are added EACH day to the ONLY online "Apple II and IIgs Monthly
Linear Ezine" -- GS WorldView.

That's All Folks !
