Hi all,

I'm afraid last100.com is timing out, and I've put in a support request. Blame our host Media Temple :(

Keep trying, as it should be resolved fairly soon.

I feel that a winner has been chosen from UK itself to save shipping cost and customs duty. I think most of the contestants are from UK.

Ian Dixon said:

@Anand HP and Buzzcorp are paying for the shipping so that was not a consideration. They aree giving away 31 x $5000 worth or prizes, shipping is not an issue.
