[StewartR]

What is this, Chris? A contest to guess what the macro photo is? Or a contest to see who can name the most obscure bit of computer-related kit in the vague hope that it might be correct? I think you shoud have given it to Billbo911.

[chansh]

Or a contest to see who can name the most obscure bit of computer-related kit in the vague hope that it might be correct?

I should win then. :)

[jr#8]

yeah! Doesn't everyone have one of those on their fuel injected vehicles now a daysI guess all those new lawn mower, chain saws, leaf blowers( pretty much single piston engines) are all fuel injected now. I think I better get with the times. HAHAHA

[SpiltPickle]

how in the world are we supposed to guess what specific device it is, given just a shot of the side of it's case?


usb hub?

[Nzshrimper]

a small clue .. used in networking

[BradT0517]

a server case

[Matoch]

Linksys gigabit switch. (And I got this without the clue)

James

[Nzshrimper]

Linksys gigabit switch. (And I got this without the clue)

lol ... now don't slam the door young man... and stop stamping your feet. ;)

[Matoch]

Sweet. I don't seem to be correct very often these days.

As much as I don't want to give up my turn. I'm at work and likely will not be able to post anything for at least 6 hours. In the interest of keeping the game going I invite someone who has not been able to post for awhile to jump in.

So my rules are this.
For the next hour anyone can post who hasn't posted a pic in the SMGG game for 2 or more weeks.

After that it's open to anyone who hasn't posted a image in the last week.

If there is still no post in 3 hours anyone can post.

Of course if nobody posts I will get something up as soon as I get home.

James

[thekid24]

lol what kinda rules are those?Usually if someone cant post its whoever wants to take it.Simple yet effective,lol.Ill find something in a bit.

[thekid24]

would anyone really be that upset?

[Billbo911]

Sure, I'll give it a shot. Here goes...Bang

[Mike Bell]

one of those 'lightening in a globe' thingies?

[Billbo911]

Way too easy!!! Your up.

[chansh]

Linksys gigabit switch. (And I got this without the clue)

James

spot on ...... lol :D

That is a router, then.

[Matoch]

lol should have checked out the next page.

And I like setting up the rules. It's my turn I should be able to give it away in any way I want. Plus it gives those who haven't had a chance to post a pic in awhile a chance to go. It's not a new concept we've done that a few times.

James

[Billbo911]

That is a router, then.
Sorry to say this but there are some very major differences between a switch and a router. Yes both are used in the directing of network traffic, how they do it is quite different and each has a specific purpose. Somewhat like a camera and a lens. Both are used to take pictures, but they do different functions. So, no it is not a router.

[Nzshrimper]

That is a router, then.
nope not a router .. this basically turns one cable into four others. a joining point.. a router is much more than a switch..

[Mike Bell]

Way too easy!!! Your up.

Here's the next one then :

[Mike Bell]

It's easy but I will give one clue:

IT'S NOT the keyboard light on an IBM laptop! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Becky N]

Looks like some kind of candy tube.

[Mike Bell]

Looks like some kind of candy tube.

[Matoch]

Is it edible? certainly looks like candy.

[Nzshrimper]

[Mike Bell]

Is it edible? certainly looks like candy.

not candle wax

[frzndaqiri]

Looks like pasta

[Matoch]

Looks like pasta

That sounds like it could be a good guess.

James

[Mike Bell]

Looks like pasta

Macaroni to be precise, but pasta is close enough.

Congratulations! Your first post in POTN and you win the SMGG! :D

In case you don't know the rules yet, it is your turn to post a macro for us to guess. If you don't have something (or can't get one ready within an hour or two) please say so - then someone else can take your turn.

Welcome to POTN! :D

[frzndaqiri]

Cool, good way to start off here! Thanks!

I will pass for now, but hope to be back again with something to share.

The old pine one I had has already been chewed to nothing. :p

I sure hope you are not thinkin' you can lead a normal life outside POTN. ;)

[jr#8]

14 post since I was here this morning and not one email. Who should I talk to to get this matter fixed.

Green pepper?

No to both, but it is edible.

The larger crop is going to be needed I think. It could get a bit tedious listing all the world's known green vegetables and fruits - especially as it isn't really that green at all! ;)

[Nzshrimper]
