Win a copy of Bento from FileMaker and TUAW
We've covered the personal database app, Bento, a few times in the past, and Brett mentions it in his "Collecting and Organizing Information" post, but our friends at venerable FileMaker want to give you a chance to try it yourself. So we're giving away three boxed copies of Bento today! Use it to store your school data, search and organize that data and link to documents elsewhere. It integrates with Address Book and iCal, for you savvy folks.
To enter, just tell us what you'd pack in a real, physical bento (yes, food, but what kind of food?). Leave your comment and you're entered, with the usual restrictions applying (see below). Good luck!
- Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.
- To enter, leave a comment telling us what you would put in a bento.
- The comment must be left before August 20, 11:59PM Eastern Time.
- You may enter only once.
- Three (3) winners will be selected in a random drawing.

Roast beef, with horseradish; yorkshire pudding opened and filled with thick gravy; potatoes mashed as light as whipped cream, and drowning in the same gravy.
This is basically my favourite meal (yeah, I know, I’m so pedestrian), and having it pleasantly arranged in a Bento box would be fun!

Why is this US-only? Can't dispatch an email with the serial number overseas?

Mmmm ... you could fit a burger in one section, some fries in another, maybe a little pasta salad up there ...
So not winning this, but maybe I'll head to Five Guys Burger and Fries for lunch later and kill the hours off my life that Bento could have saved me ...

Beef Bulgogi and a big heaping mound of sticky rice. Although I now covet Rob Rix's bento box listed above.

It doesn't matter what i'd put in a bento since YET AGAIN this is a competition only open to a tiny fraction of the world.
Please try and remember that the Internet is a world-wide medium and does not end at the edges of the US border.
You have readers all over the world (one less from now on) and it's really unfair to not offer them the same benefits as those in the US.

Competitions are subject to the rules and regulations of the state they are being held from, not the country that you live. As the rules and regualations in the place TUAW (or possibly AOL Time-Warner) live specify that competition winners must live in the grand old united states.
Blaming this on TUAW (or worse, claiming you won't visit again) is simply foolishly foolish.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
