Tablet PC Contest is International!

Regarding our Tablet PC Giveaway (www.franklins.net/dnrforms/tabletcontest.aspx) We had some questions as to whether the Tablet PC Contest was available to Canadians. The answer is yes. In fact, it is open to anyone from any country which we can legally ship this Tablet PC to. I don't have that short list of countries, but go ahead and enter anyway. We'll make sure we pick a winner from an eligible country. Carl

I thought that it was obviously open to people outside america because the form lets you enter your country.

Unfortunately, being in a different timezone and all, It's not easy for me to arrange to be telephonable between 10 and 12 US Eastern (I'm in AU EST, which is +14 or so hours relative to you). Is that going to be a disqualify me?

It would be great to call the winner on the show, but it's not necessary.

Now if only the web form wasn't throwing an exception...

Try it again. It does work. We've collected over 1600 entries, and I just tried it again.

Turn cookies on?

It happens when you enter a non-integer value in the "How many developers are there in your organization" question of the form. I originally put down 'Unsure'.

Aha. It's the old evil input thing.

You can enter as many times as you like, but we'll only consider your entry once. :-)
