MPG/Oreilly/Sybex 2 Week Book Giveaway

MPG will be giving away a book each 2 weeks to commemorate the ownership shift that is taking place here at MPG. As most of you know by know, our current owner will be signing the company over to a different owner in 2 weeks, thus the MPG 2 week giveaway. While at MacWorld San Francisco, we made some great sponsors who happily gave us books for the giveaway, O’reilly and Sybex are both online book stores with a wide selection of books and other merchandise at reasonably low prices, there is a total of 10 books, 1 for every 2 weeks until supplies run out.

Here is how it works, to enter the contest, simply make a comment on this entry, include your name and e-mail address. Or you can e-mail me at
At the end of every 2 week period we will have a random drawing to determine the winner who will be allowed to choose a book of the list below, this entry will act as the sign up sheet for the book giveaway # 1, for all following giveaways I will post an additional entry open to comments.

We sincerely thank our sponsors : www.oreilly.com and www.sybex.com for their help.

let's hope that I win one of the books instead, i would love the signed edition, i know it has sentimental value to Adam. Actually if someone else wins, I won't be too sad, I just want to see how random your drawing truly is, and to see if I could win after telling you that I don't care if I win or not. my email is I love this website, you guys are very humorous.
