Thanks to everyone for participating in the Spot Messenger Giveaway. Here
are the two new Spot owners!

Jim Niedermayer from Pine Falls, Manitoba
Bradley Berentson from West Hope, North Dakota


You guys need to let me know where you want them shipped!

Spot, Inc. is running a promotion until the end of the year where you can
get a $50 rebate on Spot when you buy on their website. Check it out at:

Thanks again to everyone, and congratulations to Jim and Brad!

Oh yes, some people will be interested in how the names were chosen.

First, I gave a sequential number based on sign up date to the 877 entries in my database.

Next, I used http://www.random.org/integers/ to generate a table of 100 random numbers between 1 and 877 inclusive. Random.org is pretty cool, it uses atmospheric noise to seed the random pool.

I printed this table off.

Then I used random.org to generate two numbers between 1 and 100. I used those as an index into the first table to select the two winning entry numbers.

I then looked up the entry numbers in the database and came up with the two winners.

I really could not think of a more fair way to do it, as by going paperless, there was no problem with hanging chad, etc.

Thanks again for participating!

Steve phoned and talk to my wife to get my address and she was trying to plan how she could rap it up for Xmas and say its from her. Thanks for the email Steve now she will have to find something else LOL. I will put it to good use.

PS Happy Holidays everyone!
 
Has anyone purchased a Spot in Alaska? What service do you purchase to track your flights in Alaska?
 
Torch, do a search, there are some big long threads about Spot in Alaska.
