As many of you are already aware of, I was the winner of DaniWeb's end-of-the-year blogging competition. So, Dani offered me the choice of both a Sony Cybershot digital camera and an Xbox 360, or I could trade those in and get a Dell 24" flatpanel display. So... I originally planned to chose the former, but then changed my mind because I realized I'd have to get rid of the Xbox 360 console. :rolleyes: So I ended up getting the monitor.
Now you have no idea how much Dani went through to get this prize sent to me. I'll admit it -- being an American must have its advantages :mrgreen:. So I'm glad me and Dani got this whole shipping/importing thing worked out.
As a special bonus for continuing to blog, Dani even sent me the Cybershot camera. Now that's what I call generous!
So... I've taken a few photos of my monitor using the camera, so as you can see, both work very well. Now all I have to do is go out and buy a DVI->Mini DVI adapter so I can actually hook this thing up to my MacBook! (Pictures attached are from my 10 year-old Toshiba Satellite laptop...)
Thank-you Dani very, very much!

I'm glad you're happy with your prize. But c'mon ... you're not showing off the fact that it's a 12 megapixel Sony digital camera. That's like double the megapixels of MY brand new camera for heaven's sake!

BTW that LCD screen is massive on the back of the camera! 3 whole inches! There's hardly room for any buttons, which is great since it's a touchscreen...

Hey there Joey, congratulations on your achievement and the prizes. 
I now believe that the prize thing was for real and not a hoax...
