Holiday Giveaway: Win 1.5 TB of backing-up goodness!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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:

    Who wouldn’t love Macenstein… It is indeed my favorite Mac site, if only for the funny and off the beaten path stories that come through on a daily basis… and lets be honest who doesn’t like to talk to the owner of a website they frequent, Son of Macenstein is all to much fun as well…

    I am thankful for Macenstein because it allows me to change the world and help humanity as a whole by reading well written and non-biased Apple news.

    Also, I’m thankful for Macenstein for helping me get my Mac fix at my high school, since my iPhone gets bad reception and Macenstein isn’t blocked on the school computers.

    I’m thankful for having Macenstein as a place to type out long, drawn out, ultimately futile comments instead of doing online Spanish work, with the nigh-impossible hopes of winning an awesome prize. Oh, and happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Macenstein. Thanks for the incredible contest!

    Dr. Macenstein,

    I am always thankful for my Mac. This, of course, is the reason you exist.

    I could say I am thankful for the Mac Chick, but lets face it, this is the internet…

    What really satisfies my geeky sweet tooth is “6 degrees of Steve”. That is the pinnacle of the fanboy arena. We are all so lucky to only be 2 degrees away (1. Mac, 2. Steve).
