Posted on 10 December 2008 by

Today’s the last day to post your entry here and be included in our drawing at midnight PST tonight for over $6,000 of HP computer hardware and software. Presently we have about 187 entries. Now if some of those are invalid (duplicate, don’t meet qualification) – that means you could have a better than one in 187 shot at winning all of the HP computers, peripherals and software. Your Christmas shopping could literally be over at midnight tonight!

To enter you need to do only three really really easy things:

1. Send out the following message on Twitter – I promise that I will make a difference in someone’s life if I win: http://tinyurl.com/6j2yml

2. Post a photo of your current desktop or laptop computer on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com) or if you’re really lazy just search flickr for something like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/eurleif/255241547/ because who will ever know it’s not your computer?

3. Leave a comment on the official entry page here that explains (a) the best gift you ever received, (b) what made it special and (c) who would you share this gift with. (Tip: You aren’t being judged on your writing – you just have to write SOMETHING that meets the qualification). Be sure to include links to #1 and #2 above in your message.

4. Wait for tomorrow morning and hope that you read your name as the big HP Giveaway winner!

PS – Judie will pick the winner tonight at midnight PST

    Does this mean we are being judged on content? I would have explained more in my posting if I thought that was true.

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    You did just fine. :-)

  • Heatwave316

    Good thing….I can ramble on and on and on sometimes. :) No-one wants that…:)

    Hi, Judie & Wayne.

    I submitted an entry at http://www.geardiary.com/2008/12/04/gear-diary-kicks-off-our-hp-magic-giveaway-enter-here/ five days ago and received the “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” indication.

    Approval was apparently overlooked among all the entries as it did not turn up in a search of the giveaway entry page. I re-submitted and have another “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” indication. I hope all is well with my entry.

    Regards,

    Corrine

    It is there now. Feel free to delete this and my earlier comment.

    Good luck to everyone. :)

    Hey Judie, thinking back to previous gadgets you’ve had like the Advantage, and keeping in mind what a powerhouse that turned out to be (I still miss mine), what do you think about this capacitive touchscreen push from HP (the new tx2 and the Touchsmart, basically)? I know having a nice big high resolution screen changed the way I worked (and played to be honest) with my devices, but tablets seem to be stuck in the niche rut. Do you think these consumer oriented devices will give this tech the push it needs?

    P.S. What would you do if you won?

  • sushrukh

    Thank you very much Judie & Wayne for the opportunity.I only wanted a scope to do anything good for my charity.

    When are we supposed to know the winner… i’d assume they’ve already been notified…

    Ooooo! The suspense is killing me! Curse you internet, I keep refreshing my RSS feeds!!! :-P

  • plant

    I wonder who won

  • Corrine

    At the moment, color me speechless!

    Heh, I wonder what happens if the 3 winners don’t respond with 18 hours? ;-)

    Maybe Judie is having waaaaay to much fun at Mobius… Or maybe she’s been too tired posing with the technogeeks who took pictures of themselves standing next to her…”Dudes (and Mom)! I was standing next to and actually talking to a WOMAN!!!”

    Hi all, as Corrine has indicated above – she is our winner! I’ll be doing an announcement post shortly… :-D

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    @breley – it’s only one winner; the other two names (which will not be announced) were backups if Corrine didn’t respond…but she did!
