That’s why god gave man IMAP, to fend of the harddrive-locked POP3 blues.

Hahha… Well, the whole town was on the road. It lasted for quite long but fortunately it wasnt too violent to turn my building into a concrete cake!

Anyway, its over now. Things are going back to normal.

Owrite… Your theory also makes perfect sense. My blog is popular for giveaways so most people come back only to see if I have something up for grabs.
Did you hear about the earthquake in Mozambique? The shake with a magnitude of 7.5 disrupted my sweet dreams…

I thought about doing a contest of sorts, asking for the best reason you should get the invite, or looking for the best company slogan or something; especially after reading the comments on this post.

Instead of taking that extra time, since these will likely become more and more easily available very quickly (uhh, I’ve already gotten 2 at the same email address, that should tell you something), I figured what the hell… Besides, I’d rather have someone I know (like you guys) get it, rather than some random person who only showed up to my blog to get what they wanted.

Thanks alot for the invite. I guess you could get some traffic with this offer if it had been done my way i.e. Let the giveaway stay open for a couple of days, ping technorati and let the word spread. In the end select winners at random.
Anyway, that’s just me Once again, thanks for the invite!

Sent. Subject is “Fwd: The Microsoft Office Live Beta has arrived.” in the event you have overzealous spam filtering.

Let me know how it goes.
