Oh! Gizmo

Commenter #354: Nance. Congratulations Nance, you just won our giveaway of an an Acer Aspire One Netbook with the schoolgirly comment “me wanteee!!” You wanteee, and you uh… not gonna try a lame joke here.

Thank you all so much for your 485 entries (the most ever), as well as the really nice comments y’all left about us. I wish there could be a netbook for everyone, but it’s not to be. Keep your eyes peeled though because later today, we’re launching two more giveaways, the winners of which will be announced on Christmas day, and one of which is open to the world. So stay tuned.

One thing, though. I would like to personally thank one of our most loyal commenters, McMan. Even though you haven’t won any of our giveaways yet, I really appreciate the time you take to contribute to this little community. There are others like him on OhGizmo, and sometime soon I’ll organize something to reward the more prolific commenters. But I had to be fair and leave this one up to the atmospheric number generator Gods to decide.

Watch for the next two giveaways in the next few hours.
