For Discussion and Comments see this thread.

I like the idea... I'm glad I've been commenting.

I like it, I've commented too. though I have most of that software, except the first 2, expressionengine, ibiz and ibank, or synergy classic. though if I don't have them, I most likely have no use for them. I don't use super duper, I currently have been using deja vu, its very good and has the features I'm looking for. I guess we'll see who wins, I doubt I will.

Well the more you use the Reputation system, the better your chances of winning

I haven't been commenting as much as I should... now I've got incentive.

That's the idea

Will you let us know, when you've selected a winner (like saying in the post that the april contest is ending), 'cause I have this site send stuff to my .mac email and I only check it weekly (and I'd hate to miss out on free stuff, 'cause I was slow responding).

The contest ends on 4/30. The winners will be selected and notified on 5/1.

That's exactly what I wanted, thank you.

Here's a great update. Rogue Amoeba has agreed to give a license for either Nicecast or Audio Hijack Pro!

The official announcement has been updated accordingly.

Only 10 days left to get your entries in. Remember, the more you use the system, the more entries you get!

Only 4 more days. Start getting those entries in!

Winners to be announced on Monday!
