Get lucky during Macworld Expo with more than $10,000 in software prizes.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (January 9th, 2006) -- MacGrab.com is a continuous countdown promotion featuring two brand-new applications: AppZapper and Menuet. Software licenses will be awarded to two participants every five minutes. Players can choose which application they want to win.

The creators of AppZapper and Menuet partnered with MacUpdate, a leading site for finding new software, Inventive, the creator of the popular iClip, and MacAddict magazine to create this promotion. MacGrab positions itself to be the most profilific awarder of prizes during this week of Mac innovation.

MacGrab.com is fueling the excitement of Macworld Expo by creating two winners every five minutes. "Macworld Expo used to promise lots of prizes to attendees. We wanted to bring back that winning feeling, extend it to all Mac users and create the biggest shareware promotion ever," said Phill Ryu of Menuet.

A drawing every five minutes awards AppZapper - a new uninstall utility, and Menuet - a fully-skinnable iTunes controller. At the expo, additional prizes will be awarded from the MacUpdate booth. When the MacGrab sweepstakes ends, seventy-five software licenses will be randomly awarded to particpants, including twenty-five of each: iClip, AppZapper and Menuet.


So guys... early bird gets the worm. I just sent out the press release, and there's very few people playing right now, so since I owe so much to you guys (I'm being perfectly honest here), feel free to check it out and win some easy licenses before the competition gets tough!

Enjoy it while it lasts, I'm at least hoping some news sites pick this up over the next few hours, and I figure traffic should only get bigger as the expo progresses.

Btw, LLB, that's very unfortunate about the Menuet crash. Let me know in this thread, or via PM or email ([email protected]) if you experience this again, and perhaps if you could provide a crash log.

And of course, any feedback from others for Menuet especially (this is its first real public release) would be appreciated!
