    Thank you for the excellent offers you provide. There is, however, a small problem that I have encountered. The March 9th offer was of particular interest to me, but the e-mail notice arrived March 12th, too late to obtain. Today's offer did not arrive as yet, although I did get it off your website.

    Primarily this is to advise you of the problem, certainly not a complaint.

    I have been using GAOTD for a year. In the last couple of weeks, two or three times, I received no daily email and the next day received the daily email with the missing offer as a second choice, but it had expired. Is there a way to fix this as I missed a program I wanted. EXAMPLE:
    -----------------------
    Modify, animate, and manage your Windows desktop icons.

    Are you tired of a boring desktop? Would you like to give it more pizazz, and brighten you day?

    Desktop Icon Toy is an easy to use desktop icon enhancement tool, which allows you to make many funny but useful patterns out of your windows desktop icons. You can change and restore their layout with just a couple of quick mouse clicks.

    Uninstall programs easily.

    Cleanse Uninstaller Pro is a advanced uninstaller that finds and remove even the most stubborn of programs. Uninstall faster, easier and more completely than you do with other programs. Using the Auto Find uninstall function all you have to do is drag and drop the programs icon you want to uninstall onto Cleanse Uninstallers icon and Cleanse will Auto Find the program in the uninstall list and start the advanced uninstaller process.

  3. At the end of the email - notice "Email Delivery powered by FeedBurner". It is an external maillist provider used by people and sites everywhere.

    I have a feeling that the emails are sent out in a batch fashion. If there is nothing in the outbox to be sent when "your turn" comes around - then nothing gets sent for 24 hours. So even being 2 minutes late for "FeedBurner" can mean 24 hours before the email gets sent out.

    The GOTD team are aware of the problem, but I am not aware of what can be done. I will try to investigate this myself, later today.
