Advertisement (Why?)
This year we have a bumper giveaway package. Neowin staff have also contributed this time around offering hosting, software and even an iPod Nano.

We like to celebrate our birthday by giving stuff away, I hope you'll share in the thanks to everyone who has given us stuff to give to you, without their support we couldn't get very far.

If you're a long term member you should know by now that Neowin doesn't require you to do anything silly to take part, as a member you can click the link shown below and that automatically enters you in the draw, no-one is excluded but winners are cross referenced to multiple accounts. If an applicant is shown to enter more than once using multiple memberid's its automatic disqualification!

#44 Echelon Left on 01 Oct 2005 - 11:20
Free stuff. Um... thanks?
Most of it is stuff I don't want, but I'll take the iPod nano.
If I win, I'm disasemblaling the Nano and playing with the circutry.
If I don't win, I probably won't even notice.
Luck, everyone. Luck and honor.

Just wondering when the gig is going to start, been 12 hours 27 minutes since October 1st.


Macromedia Studio 8 I like the sound of that, my Son's birthday on Monday, he's been whinning at me to win the iPod, what would a 9 (going on 10) want with an iPod, those are Mummy and Daddy stuff, not for naughty children.
