 It's hard to believe that NZMac.com will turn 5 years old at midnight on New Year's Eve. I can still recall flicking the website switch that night and watching as NZMac.com received its first contest entry a matter of minutes later. The site has seen some incredible changes over the years and it's great to be able to offer you a chance to join in the celebration by winning a host of goodies, donated to the site from some wonderful people and companies.
This list is being published now, not only to promote the forthcoming birthday, but also to let you see the list of goodies up for grabs which will grow as we get nearer the time.
NZMac.com's 5th birthday is being supported by the following companies (many, many thanks to them!)....
