HP4GU Contest #18 -- Ongoing

Hello Contest Fans (assuming there are any)

I'm sorry for not posting a new contest last Friday, but I was very 
distracted by the World Series, and then I've been busy sulking since 
the Yankees lost.  (Did I mention that I hate the entire state of 
Arizona, whereever it is?)  So anyway, by default Contest #18, the 
crossword puzzle, is still going on, at least for a few more days.

I haven't heard from too many people about the puzzle.  Are people 
having trouble downloading the diagram?  Or have people finished the 
puzzle but just not want to go to the trouble of typing in the answer 
and sending them to me (understandable)?  I would love to hear your 
comments, problems, or ideas (related to the crossword puzzle, or the 
contest, not about life in general) so email me with them at the 
above address or at HP4GUCon at aol.com

Anyway, here's the directions for getting the puzzle diagram and 
entering the contest.  The word list can be found in message #28269.  
Here's the URL:

Note: there is one change in the word list.  Clue 133 Across should 
read "High speed Internet access (Abbr.)"

In order to do the puzzle, you will have to go to our files section 
and download the diagram (or you may be able to open the file and 
print it without actually downloading, depending on your Internet 
browser or something).  Here's where to go:

Make sure you download the diagram file for Contest #18.  (crossword 
diagram.jpg or crossword diagram.wpd)  The JPG version is a standard 
graphics file that most types of photography and graphics software 
can read, and the WPD file is a wordperfect file that most word 
processing programs can read. If you can't figure out how to download 
the diagram, let me know and I will email it to you.  (Let me know if 
you want the JPG file or else what type of wordprocessing software 
you use, including version#.)

Since I don't want to get file attachments from people, given all the 
virus problems of late, if you want to enter the contest just write 
the answer to each clue, either across or down or both, and send it 
to me at HP4GUCon at aol.com or to the above address (as usual, save 
your email until you get a reply).
