Hey Folks-
With inspirado from the master of giving, Mr. Evil Eye himself, the one, the only Kenster, I've come up with an idea to spread a little McGizmo love to y'all. Don, it seems, has moved on to other offerings. So the spawn of some wicked Gizmology, the good ol' Ti XR19C, has become an uncommon sighting in these parts. Here's your chance to own one. Unlike Don, who was gracious enough to front the money to build these lights in the first place (along with some time and a little sweat), you won't have to spend a dime. I am giving my mint condition light away completely free. I'll cover any and all shipping costs to anywhere in the world. You will however, like Don, have to put in a little time and maybe a drop of sweat or two. I came up with some wacky rules to make it a little more interesting and fun. These rules really came from my observations of past giveaways and such. They always seem to leave a lot up to chance. The chaotic timing left many non-winners grumbling about time zones or "I just left the forum for 5 minutes and look what I missed" type of posts. This thread shouldn't have that. Again, I'm trying to be fair to everyone everywhere. Here are the rules/conditions. Please read them carefully. I will not be answering any PM's on this subject and no questions will be answered in the thread.
Post #90 wins the light. Don't ask me how I came up with that number.
You are not allowed to post more than once. If you do, you are disqualified. Think about the timing of your post. You get one shot.
You are not allowed to post anything other than the words "I'll take it". If anything else is posted, you are disqualified. This includes emoticons and any comments about what a crappy idea this might be, etc. (Heck, depending on how this goes, I might agree with you!) If you keep posting jibberish text or asking questions to merely be diabolical and screw up the giveaway I'll close the offer completely and we can all be sour. Please don't do that, I want this to be strategic and fun. Think before you post. I also don't expect the mods to have to police this thread, all I ask is that they participate as well.
Any poster editing a post will be disqualified including post #90. In this event a random qualified post will be chosen as the winner. This also includes any accidental double posts. Be patient when posting please. No clumsy fingers. (Loophole clause)
After we're finished finding a qualified winner. I will contact them via pm for their shipping address. After that, it's outta my hands.
Have Fun!
FAQ's
Can I post more than once? NO
Can I ask a question about the light or the rules? NO, not in this thread. Feel free to start another one. You can find more about this light here

(Yes, I know that by answering this very question, I allowed you to ask a question in a back-door-paradoxical-type-of-way, I'll let that one slide)
Why do you use so many commas when you write? I, do not know.
How come you made this so hard to win? Because life isn't fair even when we try to make it so. Looking at the conditions above it's clear that some people are going to have to take one for the team. It's time to grow some. Perhaps then you can be as tough as this light.
Are you like, crazy or something? NO. I just wanted to do this for a while and thought I'd try to make it interesting. I know I contribute absolutely no technical wisdom to our discussions here, I'm just a flashaholic with a desire to spread the fever.
Thanks for your participation. Let's keep this clean and smooth. Good luck to all! I'll see you sometime after post #90
