Vote for "Greatest American"!!
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 09:51 PM by FreedomAngel82
Everybody visit http://www.aol.com/GreatestAmerican and vote for your top three choices out of the top twenty five. You get three votes per week. Next week they'll do the top five. Be warned: the voting is really weird. I couldn't click on any name on the top row to vote for Clinton. :shrug: (I used my third vote for Elanor Roosevelt gotta give some love)

1. Be Careful: They're "Pinging" us!
You're computer might have been stopping that "ping" known as an "Active X" way of getting your ISP.

3. Just their way of attempting to limit votes
by IP address. Easy to get around if you have a dynamic number. If it's static you're screwed.

6. Damn
I was able to vote for Clinton last time but not this time. :mad: So I used my vote on Mrs. Roosevelt (who I do admire and according to an update during the show she wasn't doing too hot).

13. What's safer? Wireless-Secure or Broadband Hook-in w/Router?
What if you're out here wireless, w/a router secured only to your line? Is this safe or should one not go wireless, rather hook-in thru the router and modem directly?

2. I sent 9 votes Clinton's way
3 via the web
3 text messaged
3 phoned in.

Here's why I voted for Bill Clinton (even if I don't think he's the "Greatest American")

10. Actually, I don't think Oprah would be that bad a choice. She's
certainly done more for humanity than most on that list. Go, Oprah.

19. Putting Chimpo in with George Washington is ludicrous!!
I mean, give me a break!! :mad: :mad:

I know it's not to be taken seriously but it still burns me up. While they're at it, they ought to add Manson and the Boston Strangler.

:sarcasm:
