I could keep this contest all to myself because I just bought a new computer and need to add more memory.

But I put my readers first! Memory-maker Crucial.com is giving away two “2 GB custom-memory upgrades” starting today (Wednesday, Sept. 19). Sounds like but I’m not sure that it includes the latest DDR3 memory, on right, valued at $489!

Why today? Because it’s “Talk Like A Pirate Day.” I’m not quite sure how pirates and memory mix.

Says Sam Harmer, Crucial’s public relations manager, “We’re just kind of a rowdy group of people out here at Crucial.com and will jump on ANY excuse to throw a themed party ”

Visit Crucial.com today and look for the parrot to get contest details.

For those who don’t know how to talk like a pirate, use this handy translator at TalkLikeAPirateDay.com. For fun, here’s the translation of “Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day” (Aye, today is talk like a pirate day Aye, me parrot concurs) in the techie code of l33t:
