From there I basically hit the 'Go' button and it randomly selects a winning user from all entries.

For the final iPhone drawings, I'm going old-school with paper and video camera in-hand... I'm hoping it's not too overwhelming :)
That's gonna be a lot of work on ya. Is anyone helping you on the paper part?

In the future it might be best to say for every ten messages you get one entry. That will cut down on all the trees.

That's not a bad idea... just tallying up entries now, and will adjust when the time comes to close the official forum thread There's still a lot of posting going on!

Apologies if the answer is obvious or if the question's been asked, but is the drawing tonight at midnight Central time?

Thanks in advance.
