We have a winner for the Atomic/ASUS Be a techjourno for a day competition. Read on to find out who takes the page!

Our tech journo comp was a very hard fought affair, with an amazing amount of effort put in by our plucky cadet reviewers. We want to give big ups to all the finalists, but at the end of the day only one man walks away with his name - and his review! - immortalised in the pages of Atomic forever.

Drumroll please...

The winner is D. Gill, of NSW - an Atomican I'm sure you all know and love.

He was a clear winner, both of the popular vote and our own strict editorial judgement. The other two finalists delivered excellent work, of course, but the winner went the extra yards to write to style, length and consistency of scoring. The review will be published in issue 105, on sale next week.

And the winning voter is K. Ryan of Queensland.

Thanks again to everyone who entered and voted.

Woot!

 OMG! I don't know what to say. Considering I went for a job as journo at Atomic before issue 1 I guess this is a great day knowing I'll appear in the mag. That's so damn cool.
Thank you voters and management - I'm very happy!
