The Gadgeteer?s 15th Birthday Giveaway

You know the old saying ?time flies when you?re having fun?? It is so true. I can?t believe that I?ve been doing The Gadgeteer for 15 years. I started this site back in 1997, which seems like the stone age as far as gadgets are concerned. Back in those days, cutting edge meant a Palm Pilot and a 28.8kbps modem.

Besides gadgets, The Gadgeteer has seen other changes over the years, from the way the site looks, to the great team of writers and all of you who visit every day.�Let?s celebrate with some presents!
