Okay folks....it's time for our sixth anniversary celebration.
To help us commemorate the event, a number of software vendors have generously provided us with licenses.
As we've done in previous years, we're going to have a contest to distribute them.
How does the contest work?
All you have to do is find hidden icons.
They're hidden in calendar posts, forum posts or possibly blog posts.
It's just like those Highlights magazines in the doctor's office when you were young, except some kid didn't circle all the hidden animals before you got a chance to find them.
In any event, I could go into all the rules and regulations, but you don't want to read them and I don't want to type them.
Here is what you should do....click and click often. We have a lot of icons hidden around the web site.
When you find a winning entry, there will be a link and instructions for you to collect your prize.
Now go out, have fun and win!

Of course, the contest rules:
Quite simple rules!
1. You have 30 days to claim your prize. Unclaimed prizes is forfeited.
2. Make sure your PM system is enabled to claim a prize. Send PM to one Committee member only to avoid duplicate work by them. If you cannot send a PM, please go to http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/i...rCP&CODE=04 then select "No" in Disable your personal messenger?
3. Provide the necessary details when asked (email address, full name) to allow the software vendor to generate and send the license code.
4. Look for software that you want to get as prize. No return. No exchange. We do not receive any cash on this so don't ask for cash. Do not blame us or the software vendor, if any software has caused issue on your computer or system. You decide which one you want to claim as prize (if the license is still available so hurry up!)
5. You can win one (1) prize only for this contest.
6. All services are subject to Terms of Service, please read our ToS here.
7. Contest will last two weeks, or until we exhaust our supply of licenses, which is pretty much impossible to do.
The Calendar of Updates' 6th Year Anniversary Software License Committee members are: ourstanley, roddy32 and Triple Helix. Don't bribe them! (Haroldo, on the other hand is open to PayPal bribery.)
