Lucky for you, we're giving away a copy of Things from Cultured Code. All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own copy of Things. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short as you like – one word will do!

Our Mac|Life super comment choosing machine will choose a random comment and award one lucky person Things, with a retail value of $49.95. The odds of winning are determined by the number of eligible entries received. The prize is nontransferable and must be accepted as awarded.

Why did I come here, oh yes things
Submitted by thightower on Mon, 2009-08-17 19:19

I always forget things and refer to them as thing-a-ma-jigs. So a thing to help me remember all those things, I forget would be great.

Taskpaper a little light and OmniFocus a bit to much. Things might be just right.

Would be very nice to win a copy of THINGS. It's rather expensive for me, so getting it for free will resolve my TODO management issues definitively. Keep my finger crossed.
