LOL! No, no, I didn't actually win it. I was putting up the pictures for someone on the TV board who didn't grab them when the auction was on. ;)

(They're technically not mine... so I should probably go take those down now. I'd forgotten because the woman never posted a reply on the thread saying she got them. Grab a copy now if you want one! :)
