!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU, THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[UPDATE: OK, we’re going to open this up to all our readers world-wide. Thanks to all our international readers for being so annoying. – The Doc]
This time of year, one’s thoughts naturally turn towards giving thanks for all the blessings in one’s lives, and there can be no doubt that Macenstein is truly the biggest blessing of all. To that end, we, in conjunction with the good folks over at Seagate, have come up with a way that you can not only win some kick ass drives for all your Time Machine backup needs, but kiss our ass at the same time!

Seagate was nice enough to give us both a FreeAgent Desk for Mac 1TB drive and a 500GB FreeAgent Go for Mac portable drive to give away to one lucky reader (that’s right, you get BOTH). All you have to do is leave a comment below telling us why you are thankful for Macenstein. We will pick a winner at random from all comments. One entry per person please. Open to all readers world-wide. Contest ends on 12/6 at 11:59 PT. Good luck!
Oh, and fear not, if you’d like an extra chance (or 9) to win, you can also enter to win one of the nine hard drive bundles at these Web sites once they post their rules:

2. CrunchGear
3.Bleeping Computer
4. GottaBeMobile.com

Thanks for everything you do!
I am thankful for your interesting articles that I enjoy reading.
I’m thankful for this giveaway. I don’t have a Mac, but I would sell these and make some dough for sure.
Because posts are unique, unlike every other Mac blog I’m subscribed to.
Macenstein is a way for me to find out about cool new Mac stuff.

I am thankful to Macenstein for the informative articles, product reviews, and, of course, the Mac chicks. Thank you for the great give-away.
I’m thankful for this awesome giveaway.
I’m thankful for Macenstein because of the high entertainment value…and I’m not just talking about the Mac Chicks (bless ’em). Most articles (some more than others) bring a smile to my face, and some really make me laugh out loud. No other site does this as consistently. I’m here for the fun of it, and I think you’ve got a great thing going here!
Oh, and I’m thankful you’re letting us annoying international readers in on the competition goodness. Now I too have a chance to win stuff…as well as the rather more overwhelming chance not to win stuff. Yay!
For free giveaways of course.
Right about now I’m feeling pretty thankful for the excellent Toast 9 review I just read. Nice job Doc.
Sweet articles
I’m thankful for the most usefully informational Mac-related source ever – The MacEnstein! 😉
Happy Holidays!
Thank Macenstein for delivering straight no bs news and not falling under our much-beloved Apple’s censorship… unlike other sites Mac fans worship.
All worship the mighty Macenstein!
I thank Macenstein for letting people who’ve never read the site an equal opportunity chance to win an external HDD/backup their Macs.

Thankful for the writing style and irreverent take on Mac “news”
You had me at hello Macenstein. I just love your big, hot, juicy….reviews. 😉
You bring much needed humor and a “unique” perspective on mac and tech issues that brightens my day! (and seriously… I don’t look at the pictures… I just like the articles!)
I am always thankful for the Celeb sitings and definitely the MAC Chick of the month.

luv the monthly chick….definetly…..:)
I’m thankful that when my wife catches me looking at the pretty ladies, I can just say I was catching up on Mac news.
Thankful for Macenstein being different from every other mac news site out there, and always interesting.
I’ve recently found Macenstein, and have been browsing articles.
This is good stuff for figuring out answers and background about the Mac that my wife asks me (She’s a Mac, I’m a PC).
I look forward to keeping up with the Mac world, I added your RSS feed to my Google reader. Thanks.
I’m thankful for Macenstein because one can never get enough tech news on the Interweb…
I’m thankful for a site that enjoy good humor and great computers. Macenstein brings helpful reviews, neat photos, and fun news articles.
Who else would name their site “Mac-enstein”?
daily dose of sarcasm, MCoM need I say more?
Im thankful I get the most random mac news here.
I’m thankful for the sense of humor and the holiday giveaways.
I’m thankful that I can always count on Macenstein to keep me up to date on all things Mac!
For the articles. I swear I only look at it for the articles.
I love Macenstein… just like frankenstein, only friendlier.
I’m thankful that Macenstein conjures images of traumatizing piano recitals while swearing off the digital heroine that is the next great iPhone musical instrument.
I’m thankful that I’m able check in with Macenstein every day for my fix of Apple news, reviews and more.
I love bringing up the Macenstein website as it is like talking with my buddies about mac stuff while we are having coffee or drinking a beer. Your site promotes a comraderie among Mac fans and you even encourage all of us to drop you a note about what is happening out there in the Mac World. I see you on iChat all the time!
Since we are all buds on your site… we cut through the crap of reviews and issues… to what matters… being driven crazy by buggy code, seemingly inexplicable Apple actions, and we all echo … in unison… why doesn’t “such-and-such” not just plain work!
To me… that is why I keep coming back… BTW… your piano recital paints a pic that all of us can relate to, I was LMAO and ROTFL. 😉
I’m thankful that I’m able to check in with Macenstein daily for my fix of Apple news, reviews and fun articles.
