!!!!Brad Roberts has generously stepped in to donate an extra iPad2!!!!
So congratulations to our two winners of the first D Article contest!
Dave & Steve, please email me your shipping addresses.
Certainly, honorable mention goes to Robert for being a very close third, and for the fine articles as well by Nick and Jonathan. Judging by the quality of the articles, I call this contest a big success.
And a big thank you to Brad!

Hrm.. Walter's the one who added all the silly !'s and is donating one of them. He deserves much of the credit.
Good work guys.

Congratulations to both winners!
Pfft, if I have had time to vote, I might have
robbed one of his prize (sorry Brad). :)

I hadn't brought it up yet, but the fact that there were only 25 votes is, really, fairly sad. I too didn't vote. I know this community is _far_ larger than 25 people. Heck, even the number of posters to this forum is larger.
Why?
Later,
Brad

Maybe some people didn't have the time or motivation to read all articles? Or they couldn't decide which article to vote for (and this indeed was really hard)?
So what was your reason not to vote? ;)
Cheers,

I don't like making decisions like this. I don't feel like I'm picking a winner when voting - instead, I feel like I'm picking 4 losers.
Yes, I know it's silly, but I'm like that on even trivial decisions like "what's for dinner". Corn is great, but then the peas will feel left out :-(
