Win a Free Copy of Nero 8!
We covered Nero 8′s release here. A lot of readers sent in emails and we got the impression that they were pretty jealous that we got a free copy… And before its official release!
AtA readers we feel your pain and after some quality commenting you too can have your very own Retail Boxed Version of Nero 8 for free! Nero is sponsoring a FREE give-a-way of Nero 8 alongside AskTheAdmin.com. Entering AtA contests are simple… Here is what you need to do:
- Leave a comment with a name not as anonymous.
- Include why this pretty box should be yours and why you deserve it.
- Make us laugh or cry… Either way give it a try.
- Sit back and wait…
UPDATE! So the 27 of you please send an email to Contest At AskTheAdmin Dot Com with your mailing address, user name used on the post and try to send the email from the same machine you used to comment! One luck commenter will get the Nero box but all of you will get SOMETHING!

I need Nero 8 because the power box on my good computer failed. Since I have a stand-in that only runs vista I cannot run Nero 6 anymore and will have to pay $60 or more for an upgrade. I am paying my way through college too. :(

I need Nero 8, because if i dont get it, i will have to come out of my human disguise and be compelled to take over your planet. So for your own safety i suggest you do the right thing for your people and hand over the nero 8. (which will be used in return to protect your planet)
