MVP stuff I got today!

Mcninjaguy · 07-10-2009, 01:17 PM

I got my Bling from Microsoft today, but they spelled my last name wrong. Its Kelly not Kelley.

A pin

A Plaque

An Award

So what do think. Should I make the award into a giant necklace?.................................. I joke, I joke!

I also get to try out Office 2010 when I becomes available to download probably early next week.

**Glaswegian** · 07-10-2009, 01:44 PM

Very nice Neal - perhaps make it into a ring...

bry623 · 07-10-2009, 01:58 PM

woot!

Mcninjaguy · 07-10-2009, 02:04 PM

I agree
Wootish MAximus!

**koala** · 07-10-2009, 02:10 PM

They got your name wrong? Send it back and demand a new one!

Congrats. That's a great achievement.

Mcninjaguy · 07-10-2009, 04:41 PM

I am getting a new one. They are doing it free of charge, of course.

**40sondacurb** · 07-10-2009, 06:51 PM

congrats agian

**Done_Fishin** · 07-11-2009, 01:47 AM

Well done .. really nice to see that there are hidden rewards in the voluntary work one does.

2 Questions

Did you consider it would be quicker and easier to change your name ??

Have you arranged a good salary for when they want you to join them ??

Well done again ..

Mcninjaguy · 07-11-2009, 02:05 AM

No my MVP lead is very nice about sending out a new plaque so I don't need t legally change my name.

Well I would have a couple demands
-Ice cream maker and assortmant of fruits and chocloates ready with the necessary indgredients always in stock
-4,000,000 million pennies a year ($40,000) but paid in pennies just for the sake of inconvenience

something doesn't quite add up here unless the penny is worth more in scrap metal than in currency

4 billion pennies ( 4 million million) is a lot of pennies, just where would you keep them and how to transport them .. got a big piggy bank ??

**Coolfreak** · 07-13-2009, 02:51 PM

Congrats! That's a nice award. That sucks though that they can't spell your name. Haha.

**wrench97** · 07-13-2009, 03:05 PM

Good Job, that's a nice reward and a good resume filler.
Can't wait to hear what you think of Office 2010. but I don't suppose they got rid of the Ribbon

Mcninjaguy · 07-13-2009, 07:05 PM

I actually like the ribbon.
I never really liked 2003 and thought 2007 was a massive improvement over 2003.

**jcgriff2** · 07-16-2009, 01:33 PM

Looks very nice, Neal.

My heartfelt congratulations to you.

But why wait for the DVD for Office 12?

Mcninjaguy · 07-16-2009, 02:10 PM

I'm not waiting for the DVD's. Where did say that?

Anyways I got the heads up from my MVP lead and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going over my NDA (non disclosure agreement).

I like office 2010 it seems faster and the ribbon is now useful unlike 2007. I'm no Office expert in all the technical areas but this systems seems a little easier to find everything I need.

Also When I installed 2010 it kept my 2007 settings so the migration was easy for me.

I don't know how much this is going to cost but its not worth it for me. I think the office programs are way too expensive for the single user.

Here are some screenshots.

**Done_Fishin** · 07-18-2009, 04:33 AM

looks like it's getting complicated up there .. I'm sticking with 2003 at the moment ..

**WereBo** · 07-18-2009, 05:09 AM

I'm still using Word from Office-97! It works great under XP

Mcninjaguy · 07-18-2009, 05:24 AM

I think 2003 is horribly complicated with all the options and menus stuck in the drop downs. I got my new Plaque on Friday (yesterday) and the spelled my name right!

Congrats to Microsoft! Well I should say that my MVP is very nice and after I told him my name was spelled wrong he said that that Microsoft would send a new one right away.

**Done_Fishin** · 07-19-2009, 03:36 AM

Nice to see that at least the Public Relations Dept. at M$ can do something right

btw in English English we say spelt not spelled .. is this another difference between us and you Americans?

**wrench97** · 07-19-2009, 04:26 AM

According to my English teacher(400 years ago) spelt is not a word(and appearently FF spell check too).
