Staples wants to make one lucky Gadgeteer reader a winner of an Acer Ultra Mini PC Netbook (a $349.98 value!). Keep reading for more info and how to enter this contest…

For your chance to win the Acer Ultra Mini PC Netbook, you need to do the following:

Between now and 12/22/08, leave a comment to this post listing five of your favorite websites (other than The Gadgeteer) that you visit every day. *

Only one entry per person.

We will randomly pick one lucky winner on 12/22/08.  You must be a U.S. resident and be 18 years or older to participate.

About the prize:

The Acer Ultra Mini PC weighs in at 2.2 pounds with an 8.9” screen.
It has 1GB of memory, 120GB hard drive and 802.11 b/g wireless.
Great for browsing the internet, viewing pictures, watching video’s on-line and instant messaging.
You can check it out all the specs on this netbook at Staples.com and Staples retail locations.

acer-contest-2wants to make this Holiday shopping season EASY by giving 10,000 customers a chance to win their holiday gifts for free through their Gift It For Free sweepstakes. From November 16, 2008 to December 24, 2008, 10,000 lucky Staples customers will win their entire purchase (up to $5,000) for FREE!  Great news, right?  Well, not everyone thinks so, but we do!

Also be sure to check out the Coach Tom YouTube Channel that Staples has created to promote this sweepstakes. The videos are pretty funny.

Good luck everyone!

* If this is your first time posting to The Gadgeteer since we switched to WordPress, do not freak out if your post doesn’t show up right away. Each user has to have one approved comment before subsequent comments will automatically be approved. Depending on the time of day, it might take me a few hours to approve a post.
