HP Magic Giveaway: Enter our contest to win over $6,000 in electronics!

So, a few days ago we told you about our HP Magic Giveaway, and how we’d be giving away an absolutely ridiculous amount of prizes to the winner. Now, we are announcing the the contest has officially started, and we’ve got the details on how you can enter to win. First, though, a refresher on what we are giving away:

- Microsoft WIndows Live

Yes, you do see four computers listed, as well as a Media Center Extender. No, you aren’t dreaming. Yes, we (and HP) are awesome. You want the goods? Here’s how to enter to win - we are making this super-simple:
- If you don’t have one already, sign up for a Gear Live account
- If you don’t have one already, sign up for a Twitter account
- Add the Gear Live Twitter account to your follow list
- On Twitter, post a tweet about our contest and link to this page. In the tweet, include the phrase “#glmagic”.
- Once that is done, leave a comment here in this post with a direct link back to your Tweet. Be sure you are signed in to your Gear Live account before you leave the comment.
Here’s an example of an appropriate Twitter entry:
“Entering to win a ton of HP gear! http://jk9.qlnk.net/ #glmagic”

We will then announce our winner, chosen randomly out of all valid entrants and bonus points, on December 5th. We are also going to encourage (but not require) you to think about donating a portion of the prize package to someone else. It can be a charity, a relative, friend, a fellow contest entrant - anyone. We can even handle the shipping to that third party for you. It’s all in the spirit of giving, and we will let you play Secret Santa, if you so choose.
The contest is open to anyone in the world, which is a rarity. If you are in the US, you’ll even have your tax burden taken care of. What more could you ask for? Now, good luck to all - comments are open!

Here’s my Twitter tweet http://twitter.com/ListenUpMofos/status/1037692749 and I’d like to say that this is an amazing giveaway and I would most certainly Share the Magic by only keeping one computer and the printer and giving the rest to the Mission Graduates Tutoring Center here in San Francisco.
I ‘m pretty sure my user agent is showing properly, still having trouble posting… I guess I’ll have to post my bonus entries separately.

And not that it helps me win or anything, but I do plan on giving most of the prize around to friends and family. I don’t know what I’d do with four computer and an extender all by myself.
This contest is awesome!!! ![]()

Hi there! Got around to posting to my blog, but unfortunately, the commenting system says the “item is blacklisted” when I include a hyperlink here - I hope this is okay as a substitute: http://blog. robocomobo. com /2008/12/04/money-train/ . In any case, thanks again for having this contest.

I was allowed to post a comment with my twitter link, but then couldn’t post another with the bonus entries. Also couldn’t edit my original comment. I was “not authorized to perform that action”

I can’t comment, and YES my IP and user agent are exposed. I used http://www.ioerror.us/ip/ to verify it. So there must be something else causing the error.
So here’s my entry.
