The prize for the October referral contest is something way cool! How about a $50 (that's right--FIFTY!) gift certificate to Rockbound Computers! Use it towards a new computer, a 19" flat panel lcd monitor, or a metric ton worth of floppy disks! (Just kidding on that last one. No one uses floppys anyway!) Any way you slice it, you could get $50 off exactly what you want! Looks like a good month to refer a friend to MIS!

Congratulations to Swift Storage, this month's winner of the referral contest! Edmund won a $20 gift certificate to Second Read Books and Coffee in Rockland. (Here's hoping that $20 goes towards a couple pounds of their "Dark Star" blend coffee! MMM-mmm!) Again, from MIS and Second Read, congrats to Swift Storage!

Midcoast Internet Solutions is proud to announce the famous "Lobster Cam" is back online, this time with its own domain name, www.thelobstercam.com. The original lobster cam was featured by NBC's "Today" show, and was considered for the Discovery Channel's list of "Animal Planet" web cams. The latest incarnation of the web cam has been featured on comedy writer Dave Barry's website.
"The Lobster Cam has taken on a life of its own" said MIS company spokesperson Bill Batty, Jr. "The original idea came from the Lobster Institute, to study the daily life and workings of a lobster trap. When the original cam went offline, we had many emails asking when we were going to bring it back. The new lobster cam features an updated camera and uploading system, as well as highly potent chemoceptor charged bait. The result is a very lively trap. You'll almost always see something alive and moving around in there."
Since its inception, the Lobster Cam website has taken over 1 1/2 million hits.

This month, the folks of Second Read Books and Coffee have donated a $20 gift certificate towards our referral contest. And if there's one thing MIS knows (other than computers) it's coffee! This gift certificate can be used for fantastic Rock City Coffee, teas, pastries, and used books. It's a cool prize that anyone can enjoy. (MIS recommends the Morning Call, Dark Star, or Kilamanjaro coffee blends!)
