And so, that concludes our latest giveaway...
This leaves little time to contest and send out those laptops we promised before the year is over. I will also be busier than usual after the holidays as we travel to Las Vegas to attend CES... but, don't worry, if not next week, very early on January we will be running our next contest so you can count on those freebies and a few more...
If you have suggestions for the new contest (rules, etc.) please post that here.
Thank you once again for your support and participation.
