Holiday Giveaway Winners!

Good morning, everyone! It's a bit of a late morning for us all, digging out of multiple feet of snow, but we are warm and cozy and extremely excited to announce the winners of the Byte-Sized Holiday Giveaway!

Congratulations to....

Peter "Dusty" P. from Va.

Jennifer S. from Ga.

Sara H. from Va.

Theresa E. from NYC

Each of these winners will be contacted by email over the next few hours -- so if it's you, sit tight! Otherwise, thank you so much to everyone who entered! I loved reading all of your geeky memories. Here are some great ones from our winners!

"My favorite geek gift was my very first jump drive (flash drive). I had no idea that something so small and portable could hold so many files (of course, it only held 256 mb, but back then? That was HUGE!). It totally changed my life. I no longer had to carry around zip disks and lug spindles of CDs everywhere I went, not to mention saving the time it used to take to sort through each one to find what I needed (usually just one measly file)!"
--Jennifer

"The first Sony CD Walkman. It looks like a tricorder, it was so huge. The external battery pack took D-cells, IIRC. But it got me used to portable music and living in my own world, and I've been a hardcore geek ever since."
--Peter

Thanks again to all those who entered!

I'll be back in a few hours with some top headlines, so until then, have a great day!
