Default Winners of the Achieve-IT! Goal Setter Contest



There were some really terrific posts in the recent Acheive-IT! Goal Setter v2.0 contest. As Brad himself put it: "...this was challenging to decide between all of the great entries. I tried to come up with a balance between people who had some personal or health challenge as well as some that I felt might have some goals that would help others down the line.". Sounds like great criteria to me. So without further ado, the 10 prize recipients are: Miawong, Code-frog, Marsonist, Norbu, Mburch, binstpa, TheGMan, Stitics, Mamayak213, Sooner Magic. For each of you, please send a PM to Brad Isaac with 1) your email address and 2) your device owner name (i.e. whatever is displayed on your today page as the owner name). Please ensure you send the PM using the PPCT account from which you posted. Brad will follow up with registration details.

I've gotten to know Brad a little bit during this contest process and I can tell you that he's a really great guy who is really excited about the positive impact that Achieve-IT! has had for both himself and his customers. For the rest of you who posted, if you're truly serious about achieving your goals, I'd strongly encourage you to pick up a copy for $29.95. There are available versions for both WM2003 and PPC2000/PPC2002 at Handango [Affiliate Link]. For previous users who have not received an upgrade offer via email, you'll find direct contact information on the PocketPCAddict Achieve-IT! page. Finally, I just want to extend my thanks to both Brad and PocketPCAddict for giving us the opportunity to host such a great contest.

Goal: Reply To Thread at PocketPC Thoughts and say thanks!

Hey, that was easy. Now that I can track my goals I was able to get right on this by exporting a task to Outlooks Tasks.

{SIGH} Now this means I need to refine my life and establish goals. I guess that's my first real goal, to set Goals.

Okay, enough of being horridly cheesy to decent folk.

Thanks a bunch! The product is pretty cool. The Calendar/Task Integration along with some of the other features make this a "Life's Tool" that is useable.

Well back to work I go. Anybody here good at reading binary streams in C#? If so PM me. I'm stuck on a hump and dying. :cry:

Goal: Reply To Thread at PocketPC Thoughts and say thanks!

Hey, that was easy.
It's great to see that code-frog you achieved a goal within the time span of hitting the reply button and then hitting the submit button. :lol:
You see - it's proven results like those that keep A.I. #1 :lol: :jester: :lol: :jester:

All jokes aside, I was wondering if anyone had tried it in VGA mode yet? The VGA mode code was inserted during last week's update, but my VGA device isn't here yet (expected it here Monday) so I can't see if it works or not. I've heard rumors it does, but I'd like to see it if possible. 8)
