    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.

    - Steve, last100

    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.

  17. avatar Ian Dixon says:

    @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.
