It's been far too long since our last big contest, and I want to make sure that all subscribers feel that they're getting a lot of value out of their subscription. I have a drawer that's overflowing with all sorts of Pocket PC accessories, games, cases, and books. And I want to give it all away! Our partner, Pocket PC Techs, is also going to be kicking in some great prizes. Unlike last time, I'm not going to tell you what prizes are in the drawing - it will be a surprise! If you're a paying subscriber, you're automatically in the list of potential winners. The exception will be some of the items that are will only work with one specific device, in which case I'll be doing a special posting where the winner will be picked from those who post.

If you are not a subscriber, and you'd like to enter the drawing to win a prize, please send a postcard* from your home town (something with a picture would be nice!) within two weeks to:

Jason Dunn
45 Tuscany Springs Circle NW
Calgary, Alberta
Canada
T3L 2R8

*On this postcard, be sure to mention it's for the Pocket PC Thoughts contest, along with your valid return email address, and the answer to this mathematical equation: 4 + 81 * (20 / 4). Entries missing any of the above information will be excluded from the drawing, although we'll keep your postcard if it looks nice and hang it on our wall. :-)

Do paid subscribers of other thoughts sites count? Just wondering. I love contests!

[Jason Lee]

Oh the post card equation, do we have to show our work?

[PetiteFlower]

Why for the math? Is it just to make sure it's a human being filling out the card or does the answer actually have to be correct?

It's a requirement for giveaways in Canada - if you don't have a skill testing question, it's considered gambling or something...? Just a little CYA. ;-)

No, unfortunately not yet - we're still a couple of months away from having the merged subscriber services, so I have no method of doing random drawings from ALL subscribers.

Would you like a post card from cowtown? :wink:

You didn't give us the value for x

Changed to * because it's supposed to be multiplication. ;-)
