20 iPod-and-iMac combos given away (5 per "region")

<a href="http://www.evian.com/changegear/index.phtml"; target="_blank">http://www.evian.com/changegear/index.phtml</a>;

and it's not even the grand prize.



FYI: In my last post about the Two 20 gig iPod giveaways, when I asked if anyone actually wanted me to post this stuff, I wrote that I hadn't received a lot of positive feedback. I sometimes forget that intonation, specifically understatement, isn't always clear. I wasn't looking for vocal appreciation because it helps my ego. When posting prior sweeps the only responses I got were "sounds like great spam bait" and the like. And that's a legitimate concern so I'm not criticizing those posts. But I just wanted to know if that's what everybody thought of them, and if so I would stop sharing them. My feelings weren't hurt or anything and I don't demand your appreciation for doing this. Sorry for not making that clear. Thanks to all for urging me publicly and privately to continue posting sweeps as I find them. Good to know that some people actually want what little info I can provide.



Alex.

    Why not post 'em so long as common sense suggests they're legit, and people can make up their own minds.



    Personally, I don't think it's too different from getting a heads up on any other web happening, so thanks. God knows, soon the only way to afford a reasonable priced mac will be to win one in a contest.

    I appreciate that this information was posted. I can't imagine that there are so many contests that it would clog the forum, so by all means continue to post legitimate offers. (Matsu's last comment on the subject is gold, btw. He should use it in his sig.)

    Link doesnt work for me



    **Edit

    Clarification. The link works, but no combination of clicks get me to a place I can actually enter the contest.

    Thanks! I never want to miss a chance to get a free iPod... I'm so broke it ain't even funny, but I would love it to death. And I never hardly win anything, so I figure maybe my bad luck is almost out.

    I had that problem too using Chimera. In IE, it worked perfectly fine. Someone over at MacNN said it was because if you have pop-up ads blocked the entry form won't come up because it's a pop-up.

    This should work

    <a href="http://www.evian.com/changegear/home.phtml?directlink="; target="_blank">http://www.evian.com/changegear/home.phtml?directlink=</A>;

    It's a direct link to what appears in the popup. I think you'll still need a Flash enabled browser, but if your browser kills pop-ups, then this'll get you past that hurdle.

    Even that link is super slow using Chimera. I opened up IE to enter. Thanks for the link though
