There you have it, the beat will go on.

Get the ball rolling, send a Private Message to dod or me. Flood my PM's with AOA case badge requests, you know that you want your front panel's 1" by 1" pocket filled with our most stylish case badge. Act now and save, save, save.

"...save, save, save." WTF, over? I guess it's theoretically possible to save money if the expenditure is zero. Heyell, them math geniuses can do anything with numbers.

When I was a wee sprat my mathematical sense was out to lunch, still is, but don't tell anyone. My teacher was explaining that 5 + 5 = 10 with the aid of small wooden blocks. I understood that 4 + 4 = 8, no problem. However, 5 + 5 equaled 9. I didn't care that 5 blocks plus 5 blocks obviously made 10 blocks in total. The teacher was wrong, if 4 + 4 made 8, it was as plain as day that 5 + 5 made a pile of 9, 9, 9 blocks, by gum.

I got on the floor, held my breath and kicked my heels into the Linoleum. She wouldn't relent and declare that my personal addition of five plus five equals nine was the law of the land. Well!

No, you aren't going to receive nine or ten AOA Forums case badges when you send dod or me a Personal Message. Just one of our badges will noticeably improve your day. See if I'm telling the truth, PM one of us today!

Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. Just shows to go that I'm a well trained consumer. Gack.


Two free AOA Forums case badges to the Member that can tell me what a "Vreneli" is. Make that three case badges, the question is obscure. Nothin' obscure about obtaining your very own free AOA Forums case badge, send a Private Message to dod or me. Hop to it, I'm going rock skiing today. And it will be rocky, we had very little snow last winter.

Vreneli

A 20-franc Swiss gold coin, fine gold content 0.1867 troy ounces, 900 fine, with a portrait of a girl on the face, which first appeared in 1897 and was minted until 1949. In all, 58.6 million of these coins were struck.

Send them over dude !

Holy burnt rubber, Batman! Sheesh, now I gotta send chrisbard three AOA badges, arrgh. That was fast. Oops, I forgot about Google. Duuh. Hokay, please PM me with your street address, chrisbard.

The woman's image on the obverse of the coin screams "Hello, I'm very utilitarian. Please point me to the stable or kitchen, I live for work." No beauty is she. If I designed a gold coin, I'd put a beautiful face on it. 58 million ugly faces, what a terrible waste of .900 fine gold. Just my opinion, of course.

The time is right, order your free AOA case badge today! Just send a Private Message to dod if you live in the UK. PM cloasters if you hang in the USA. It's that easy.

It's really easy to hang in the USA I guess. You just need a rope and a good old Sequoia tree. Being fat and having more that 130 kg it's a joke for that tree. Order your badge or hang in there!

Umm. Yes, a very long rope is needed to hang something on a Sequoia tree. They are amazingly tall, usually a hush falls over those lucky enough to see them. The Coast Redwoods are taller still, they inspire a respectful silence too.

I pray that the remaining ones aren't all sacrificed for cash. Ten thousand year old wizened pine trees live in the desert in California. California is an amazing place, I lived there for many years. I had to leave, too many people always spoil a good thing. Seattle has changed for the worse over the last 20 years, again too many people. Choosing a relatively unspoiled place to go to is much more difficult now.

Choosing the right case badge for your machine is easy. Get your free AOA Forums case badge right now!

Thank you for the suggestion, Motivator. Wyoming has good points, but it's a bit too "red" for my liking. This "red" and "blue" stuff is back*sswards. Blue has been the Republican color of choice for campaign signs for decades and red symbolizes Communist philosophy. What's up with this?

Members of all political categories qualify for a genuine AOA Forums case badge! Its colors are neutral, order yours today!

Exclamation

I have a complain about AOA badge. I just received mine and after I carefully undusted it and assign it to my main rig in about 5 or 10 sec my computer went dead.
However when I pressed again the start button hoping that it's not completely dead the rig started slowly like something was wrong with the bios and then posted and amazing XP 5000 @ 4 Ghz !
The computer is now working at least twice as fast and I am very grateful! However the complain remains. Please make the AOA badge to make this transformation without restarting my rig, since all the goodies out there today don't need a restart, except of B. Gates car !

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,

Chris

I wish we could state that chrisbard's jump in performance after putting one of our AOA Forums case badges on the front of his PC is typical. However, a slight performance boost is almost a surety.

Don't hold back, order your free AOA Forums case badge today!

It's a shame that a few hundred AOA case badges are sticking around my house--when they should be sticking to our Member's machines. The sobbing in the closet where they are kept is getting hard to take late at night.

Won't you help remedy this unhappy situation? Get off'n your duff and Private Message dod in picturesque, yet hardy Scotland. Or PM me in with-it(or so we like to think) Seattle. Make with a Private Message right now, it's Saturday and you have the moment to spare.

Maybe, just maybe the return from complete madness is upon us. It'll hurt so much to dance in a circle to the tune of "The Wicked Witch is Dead." Slough off an ounce of worry, get your very own AOA case badge today!

Cloasters I waited a long time but now I must ask. Is there in your basement where you make this badges? You have a little print studio there? How come the badge pile is still a little hill?

Good question: *babyish voice* Where do AOA case badges come from?

(instead of 'where do babies come from?'
