Bev,

You rock! I appreciate your comments/posts and your willingness to work in
the group.

You know, I'm not an MVP but I've seen and heard a lot of people subscribing
to the "Urban Myth" that MVPs get buckets full of software/hardware, etc.
Do you know of a link or care to explain the "benefits" of being an MVP for
those who have subscribed to this line of thought? It could clear some of
it up for some plus really show the amount of work you and the other MVPs
put into this forum as well as others.

Just my .02

Thanks,

Thanks.

see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ for general MVP information.

I'm going to pass on a detailed list simply because I am unsure of what
the MVP program feels is public information.

To quote from the above site;

>> Do Microsoft MVPs receive any payment from Microsoft?
No. The Microsoft MVP Program does provide a small award of software and
other benefits in its core program offering, but MVPs do not receive any
monetary payment from the Microsoft MVP Program. <<

Also, since I am semi retired, I do not benefit from some of the mvp
support options that an active programmer or person in another paid
support position might have significantly value.

I will, however, restate that MVP status does not return material
benefit anywhere near the volume and value of each MVP's contributions
here and elsewhere.

OTOH, many of the MVP's, especially Mobile MVP's, have highly visible
sites, for example, http://pocketpcthoughts.com

These sites may prompt the oem's to offer evaluation units directly to
them for advertising exposure of new hardware, but, again, whatever they
get through those venues is equally hard earned based on the obvious
time, effort and expense they bear to keep those sites live and updated.

Personally, I'm not really visible outside of these forums, so I am not
an oem target other than one device that came via an MS/OEM connection
which has been both great.

Thanks Bev.

10-4 to that Bev. You're the greatest. Don't let sphincters who are
obviously baiting us all get you (or the rest of us) down.

I also heard that Microsoft take a load of tramp look-a-likes and remove
their sense of humour.

'You rock!'?!?!?

Well he might smell like an old rock and his skin is grey like many
rocks...but I don't think the miserable old man could rock without breaking
a hip.

Oh and like I was serious when I said about the butler and yatch.

Obviously Beverly is too old to know what ;) means. If he had been a woman
I would have thought it was her time of the month. Now I realise he is
permanently like that. Maybe I'll be like that when I reach 95. I hope not
though.

Morons follow morons I guess. Oh no...I've started a war with a load of
geeks!

I just hope they don't start telling their friends at science club that I
pick on them.

Strongly suggest that everyone lay off of him, ...zero response.

Anger only engenders anger and his rage is obviously both deep and huge.

Since he indicated that he's seen my picture and the rage is so far out
of proportion to the initial trigger messages, I have to assume that
something about my description relates to a horrific experience in his
past or even the present.

I'm not being injured by this, but size of his pain is evident and
beyond measure for most of us, so the rebuffs are little more than
irritiations that serve only to keep that rage on the surface and
hurting everyone in range.

It's a learning experience for me... I had always assumed that my first
assault for simply being old was going to be at the head of a long
shopping line while I was searching for exact change ;-)

Sincerely,
Beverly Howard

Interesting, you are the only moron I see around here and nobody is
following you. It seems that you can't get it right even with a simple
statement like this.

Get a life !

Get a life - I ain't heard that one for a while...so 80's.

The people who use it are usually sad little geeks. Nice double chin you
got there fat boy and what a nice C.V. you have. The only thing missing is
the word geek stamped right across it.

Well put. Just like your ego.

Well the hoffic experience was seeing your picture really. So you are
correct. The experience it brought up in me was seeing it 0.0001 seconds
ago and frankly, it has scared me for life.

You flatter yourself. Its the old 15 - 1 tactic I employ. Seeing as thats
an English program you won't get it. But, in summary, whoever gets you -
get them back 10 times worse. Then its a lesson for all who even think
about it again.

I bet its you that makes shopping lines long while you search for the
correct change. Thats the trouble with old people...too slow.
