MC Press Online and the MC Resource Centers have announced the winner of the “Get in Touch with the MC Resource Centers" iPod Touch giveaway. Kim Gibson, a web designer and programmer/analyst from Meridian, Idaho, is the lucky winner of a 32GB Apple iPod Touch with a retail value of $250. Kim's entry was selected at random by Kara Stuart, MC Press Online Advertising sales manager.

“Holy smoke! What a wonderful surprise!” exclaimed Kim upon receiving a telephone call informing her that she had won. “The articles alone make MC Press Online a valuable resource, and now to win an iPod Touch too? Wow! Bonus! Thank you MC Press!"

Jeff Phillips, MC Press’ director of Marketing, noted that MC Press Online readers can win twice when visiting the MC Resource Centers, first with the many free, helpful solutions to choose from, and second, by entering to win a valuable prize. "The MC Resource Centers are the ultimate destination for solution-seeking IBM Power Systems professionals," says Phillips.

While not every visitor is going to win an iPod Touch, chances of doing so are actually far better than in most similar drawings, Phillips says. Nevertheless, "everyone is welcome to request as many of the offerings as they wish without cost or obligation," says Phillips. Readers can choose offerings from the MC White Paper, MC Software, MC Webcast, Disaster Recovery, and Security Centers.

The company has now launched another awesome giveaway drawing for users of the MC Resource Centers and will give away a new 3M Mini Projector to a lucky reader. The prize has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $350.* Check back with MC Press Online to learn who wins the mini projector—it could be you!

IBM Power Systems professionals are encouraged to visit any of the MC Resource Centers to select as many of the available items as they like; simply include an entry to the contest along with your download order.
