    til 4 pm central, only 62 being given away in NY and FL. Contest open only to Candinavians and Americans.

    http://www.logitechcordless.com/index.htm

    I found that in IE if you disable cookies, submit form once, hit backspace then enter (repeat ad nauseum), it's at max a few minutes of trying to get yourself a winner.

    and a Mozilla tip from another forum: Open Mozilla. Open Tabs. Tab as many of the sites into the tab, so you can read the title of the tab, example : "Not a Winner", and "Winner". Right Click on a tab, click Reload All Tabs. I was able to refresh up to 5 pages at once.

    (yase rockHEAD, I found this on SA)

    ehhh.. screw that logitech junk.

    I am so spoiled by my MS natural keyboard that I can never go back to an "old fashioned" keyboard, even if it wireless... same with my mouse, exclusive trackball user here....

    Damn Microsnot....damn them!

    45 minutes of my life wasted.

    I give up.

    I would feel bad, but I literally have nothing better to do. Maybe I should feel bad about that fact rather than not winning.

    I think this is a logitech ploy to wear out the backspace and enter buttons on my keyboard.

    It would be a great gambit, no?

    I could have put this on my company's (an investment bank) website, though I may be discovered when my boss finds out a page titled "OMG_SUPAR_HAPPY_FUNTIME_LOGITECH_GIVEAWAY.htm" got 1500x the hits our next highest page got.

    edit: I just saw an .HTA file written that will win for you ;) it just checks the document title to see if you're not a winner, and reloads itself every 1.5 seconds until the doc title matches the right words.

    What do you do in that investment bank? I always thought people working in investment banks don't even have time to go to the bathroom ;).

    Why I'm an internet developer, of course. I'm sure the more astute here can figure out when my down-times are. coughcoughNOWcoughcough

    Judging by the number of 'net geeks in the US, I'm sure all 20,000 of these gifts are gone by now.
