A tip on how to win one of our fantastic Christmas competition prizes
Regular readers will be familiar with our annual Christmas giveaway. This year we think we have the best collection of prizes yet. And why not? - after all we know many of you will be working through Christmas. And we know you'll be included as always in your company's 'unsung hero' Christmas awards.
As as I expected, we're getting a lot of entries, which means that when we return from the Christmas break my team and I shall have *a lot* of tie-breakers to read through. You can make our lives easier by including tie breakers such as "because I want one" (easily filterd out!). Or you could make our jobs a little more difficult for us by dreaming up tie-breakers that are a little fun or off-the-wall.
Here's a selection of some of last year's winners:
For some networking gear:
"I live in a cottage with walls thicker than C4's Space Cadets"
For a media streamer:
"There's nobody greedier or needier for media than me dear"
For some virtualisation software:
"I'll give my PhD supervisor a heart attack by owning legitimate software"
And for a 19 inch TFT monitor:
"I'm only human - of course I'd prefer a couple of exta inches"
Get the idea? Now, put your thinking caps on and win:
Day 1: An Alienware Area-51 m5550 notebook PC
Day 2: An Orange SPV M600 with Sat Nav
Day 3: A Garmin nuvi 360
Day 4: A Sony VPL-CX76 projector
Day 5: A ZyXEL connectivity bundle
Day 6: A UBiQUiO 501 Pocket PC phone
Day 7: One of four 2GB Crucial memory kits
Day 8: An Adaptec Snap Server 210
Day 9: A Google Mini Search appliance
Day 10: A D-Link DNS-323 storage enclosure, DSL-2740B wireless router and USB adapter
Day 11: A Netgear WNR 854 wireless router and Eva 700 media streamer

Good luck!
