  Congrats to both winners!

  has anyone actually received their orders yet?

  Not this time around. I have this feeling that the orders won't be honoured, seeing that people are still continuing to use the coupon code. I can just imagine how much they'd loose out giving away all those freebies. The last time around, they revoked the coupon code only hours after they were given out.

  Also I wonder what would happen to the horizontal width of the vote box if the votes go over 100. Seeing that they are designed to fit two characters, I think they will overflow. Perhaps another 4 people could try and vote and see what happens?

    Huh? What did you mean? Two-character ought to be enough for any deal! (sorry BillG!)

    I guess there's only one way to find out. Two more votes to go!

      What I meant was that when the votes get to a 3 digit number (i.e. 100), the bounding box surrounding the number of votes would overflow.

      LOL. As this website attracts more member of the public (which I'm sure it will), you'll see that 3-figure votes would be the norm. Maybe it's a sign for you to update the UI + css? :Þ

      P/s: who's BillG? A member of the Gates family? That would be 9 characters.

        Yes I know 2 character won't be enough when the site grow but I was pretending to be short-sighted in the same way of Bill Gates' infamous quote "640k ought to be enough for anyone" :)

          @scotty: Ahhh, now I got it… :P

          Reminds me of the good ol' Windows 3.1 days. When I first played solitaire on my 386DX, I got so excited!!

          edit: it got to 100 and the bounding box survived!! (but not on the "Top Deals" listing though.)
