You must enter by 6pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time US on May 12, 2008. Emails received after that will not be eligible.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">5. A random drawing will be held on May 13. If you did not provide the correct answers to all 5 items, you can <strong>not<\/strong> be the winner!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">6. I will send an email on May 13 to the winner who will have 24 hours to respond with their full legal name, shipping address (no post office boxes) and phone number for shipping. If no response is received, a second random drawing will be held with the same conditions. I will announce the winner here (no address or phone will be posted). Note that Buzz Corps will make a payment directly to the winner to offset their tax burden.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">7. This machine is for your personal use and while what you do with it is up to you, I ask that it not to be sold on eBay or other channel. If you enter, please do so because you are excited about the HDX Dragon and want it for yourself\/your family. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">8. After the winner receives the dragon and has had a chance to enjoy it, I&#8217;d love to do a follow-up story with the winner&#8217;s comments. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">That&#8217;s it!
