528.0. "Wild Disney Sweepstakes! (on the Web)" by CSC32::B_GRUBBS () Tue Mar 04 1997 14:09

    
    dunno where to put this note exactly.  Moderators?  Is there
    a 'sweepstakes' note?  
    
    Anyway, on the new Disney home page they have a sweepstakes
    where the grand prize is $70,000 worth of trips to EVERY
    Disney theme park (Orlando, Anaheim, Paris, and Tokyo) PLUS 
    a cruise on the new Disney cruise lines.  You can enter once 
    a day real quickly with just a username and password once you've 
    'registered'.  They also have a 2nd and third grand prize to be 
    drawn next fall, as well as some very nice multiple weekly and 
    monthly prize winners. Check it out.  Look for the small red
    'enter to win' button on the right hand frame.
    
    Now if I can just figure out how to batch job a daily entry.  8^}

	note: I've had trouble with their systems in the past through DIGITAL's firewall; it accepts a registration but then won't recognise the user/pass when trying to use that registration. I worked with the Disney Online folks without luck; something's being filtered somewhere. You'll likely need to do this from home through your own ISP (or use AOL, CompuServe...)

	re: -1 www proxies may vary. I'm using the service center proxy here in colorado and have not had any trouble. There are several others around the company. I'm also using Microsoft IE and not Netscape. --Bert
528.3	Secure server	ENGPTR::MCMAHON		`Wed Mar 05 1997 12:51`	7
	If it's looking for a secure server and you don't have one configured in your browser, you may experience a problem. I use www-proxy.das.dec.com as my secure server. If you're using Netscape, you'll notice the key on the bottom left of the window will change from a broken key to a complete key when you're using a secure server.
528.4	worked for me	ORION::chayna.zko.dec.com::tamara::eppes	Nina Eppes	`Wed Mar 05 1997 12:52`	4
	RE .1 - I had no problem registering and then entering again the next day using the ZKO proxies and Netscape Navigator V3 Gold. FWIW. - Nina
