Welcome to Synergy's 'jam in your ears' contest


April 30, 2000: The clock has struck midnight and our Synergy "jam in your ears" contest has ended. Thank you to everyone who entered; it was fun reading your mail. The answers most of you zeroed in on were "ears" or the more technical, "headphones." We hope you had as much fun as we did! We'll be sending an email to the lucky winners in the next week or so and posting them here so please check back. See you next time!

Love,
Kat and Sea
