Karma: Google ChromeCast - Winner: RogueJSK!

April 27, 2017, 04:40 PM

Up for grabs is this Google ChromeCast:

(Sorry, I discarded the box a while ago. What you see is what you get.)

Karma Rules:

Must have been a member since at least April 20, 2017 (that's a week ago as of today)
Must have a valid email address in your profile and answer winning notification in a timely manner
Please: Continental U.S. entrants only (shipping will be via USPS on my dime)
Must answer the question "Why is ensigmatic giving away a perfectly good Google ChromeCast?"
(Answer elsewhere in The Lounge. Snark, sarcasm, etc. acceptable.)

I'll let it run for... I dunno... a couple days or so. Whatever suits my fancy. The Karmanator will choose the lucky (?) winner.

Good luck!

(To be perfectly honest: I never found the thing to be all that useful. Perhaps you will.)

Thanks for the Karma! Please add me to the list.

Sounds like you're giving away your Chromecast because you don't trust Google, and have decided they're just as evil as Microsoft.

I'd like a shot at it.

Ditto what Rogue said. I seem to remember you dumping all things Google.

Sign me up please.

I find it quaint you're giving up TV in a warm comfy modern home to live in a thatched hut and read old books by a whale oil lamp.
But who am I to judge?
When are you doing the big screen plasma Karma?

I would love a shot at this Karma! Thank you.

I guess you are giving it away because you are scared Google has too much information on you. <sarcasm >

I tend to agree, but then again, I think Apple is evil too ... well, as opposed to the APPLE ][e, not evil. I still have one, it's a pretty neat old machine.

Thanks!

Please add me.
Obviously you are giving it away because there is not a stitch of actual chrome anywhere on it.

I think I'm going to submit this to the Karmanator sometime tomorrow (Saturday, Apr. 29). Anybody else wants in, speak up quickly.

And, if you do, please read the rules. Half the current entrants are currently DQ'd for failing to do so, so far.
