Think I missed the contest.

Was 1 week? 5 business days or 7 full days?

If I'm in by midnight US central time is that OK? EHW seems to be giving my phone a bit of trouble.

it started yesterday so it's got a few more days.

I'll have to tell enterprise about the bug. I noticed I had to refresh the forum page to get it working. It's always a work in progress over there still trying to polish it up.
