November 2006 Reader Challenge
Solve this month's Windows Client challenge, and you might win a prize! Email your solution (don't use an attachment) to [email protected] by November 15, 2006. You MUST include your full name, and street mailing address (without that information, we can't send you a prize if you win, so your answer is eliminated, even if it’s correct).
I choose winners at random from the pool of correct entries. I’m a sucker for humor and originality, and a cleverly written correct answer gets an extra chance. Because I receive so many entries each month, I can't reply to respondents, and I never respond to a request for a receipt. Look for the solutions to this month's problem at http://www.windowsitpro.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=94120 on November 16, 2006.
The November 2006 Challenge:
This challenge comes from a reader who said he uses the WINDOWS CLIENT UPDATE Reader Challenge in his IT department as a form of playing "Trivial IT Pursuit," and department members are now adding to the challenge game with questions of their own. This set of questions stumped the majority of the department, so I present it to you (with thanks to Dom D., of Ohio, who receives a copy of "Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks, Second Edition," from O'Reilly & Associates Publishing for submitting it).
