Doh... I was clicking through reading a few threads and all of a sudden CD got horribly grindingly slow... I looked down... 4:45... Two links later, it wouldnt open and for all of 4:47 CD was down... ahh let the madness of 47 begin! (must find less populated hours to read... )

I think that was when I was fixing the database ... I try to do that daily, now. Just like 20 min ago, when I fixed it today.

Umm, stupid question from a CD nube, but what exactly is the web hug? I have a general idea, but could somone explain it a little more to me? I'd kinda like to know; if you can explain, just pm me or leave a post. Thanks!

Basically, it's a little meeting where CD users gather and say hi in person, since many people only really talk on the forums or IM .. the webhug let's you put a face to a name.

The Solidworks thumb drive, is it a normal drive, or does it have Solidworks installed on it?

The thumb drives don't contain SolidWorks -- I believe they are probably branded with the SolidWorks logo ..

However -- a SolidWorks rep. saw your question and they have generously donated 47 copies of SolidWorks (student edition) to be given out to all raffle winners!

[mplanchard]

Only two requirements to win - you must be a student and you must love to design in 3D!

We will make certain to bring the copies of SolidWorks with all COSMOS analysis tools for calculating stress and motion and flow simulation. Your robots are becoming very advanced and you need the same tools our customer use to design robots from VEXplorer to the Mars Rover.

We can only travel to a few Regionals during the season. It will be great to to meet you all in Atlanta. Marie

Can I still win, if I promise to pass my copy off to a student? Because I am going to win! (Goes quickly to find real wood to knock on...)

That is awesome! I'm glad I asked Michelle that question and that she posted it! I only wish I could be there to have a chance to win it. Darn final exams.
