    I thought the winner selection process was quite technical

    Each person on the Anglepoise mailing list will be assigned a number and the winner will be selected randomly on the 2nd October by picking a number out of a barrel.

    Quite easy acctually, when you click submit they're probably putting your record into a database, and it'll just auto increment a number for each entry. Then simply pick out a random number :) Why they couldn't just say "winner picked at random" I don't know ;)


    As for the lamp, I quite like it.

    A: The missus would hate it.
    B: I think it'd look ace in a home office or something.
    2009 Wins.
