Here’s Your Opportunity for a Tech Makeover

Intel, FM and the folks at Hot Hardware are offering up that chance — a $5000 tech makeover — to a few lucky winners among vistors who enter the contest at Need A Tech Makeover.

Tech Makeover Site

Here’s the call for submissions:

“Is there someone in your life insisting that fine technology, like fine cheese, only improves with age? Are you carrying a cell phone the size of a brick or trying to surf the net on a computer that fills an entire room? Does your mom or dad print e-mails and reply by phone? Is your best friend the only person you know who still listens to cassettes on a boom box or watches movies on a Betamax? Do you need a tech makeover? Does someone you know need one?

“Intel invites you to submit your story or nominate someone you love for the chance to win a $5000 tech makeover and training from the experts at Hot Hardware!”

Several FM authors will judge which candidates are most needy of new gear, such as Maggie Mason at Mighty Girl and Mighty Haus, Liz Gumbinner and Kristen Chase at Cool Mom Picks, Natalie See Drieu at Craftzine, and David Altavilla and Marco Chiappetta at Hot Hardware.

Sixty entries so far, and dang, people have some powerful stories to tell. Check out this one.
