    Martin, Senior Vice President of Capitol Electric in Portland, won the
truck by logging onto gesupply.com and registering for the truck drawing,
during the Web site's launch promotion period.  He entered the contest at the
annual NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) Convention in
Seattle in September 2000.  Martin was one of over 10,000 registrants.  More
than 20,000 businesses and individuals have become registered gesupply.com
users since the site went "live" last fall.
    "My wife and I are enjoying the new truck," Martin says.  "Everything with
regard to the contest, ordering the truck, and GE Supply's generosity has been
a very pleasant experience."
