OK, I gotta research what to put up, I'm gonna up the stakes a little. 20 Kudos for each non-staff member that makes a guess. That's each guess, remember one guess between clues. 100 kudos to the person that gets the correct guess. I do not expect anyone else to give away so many kudos when it's there turn, I just wanna get some folks involved. It is quite fun and informative as well.

 

[ReefLady]

Hey .. you stole my guess while I was installing the new version of Netscape. LOL
