Quick show of hands: how many of you have teenagers in your home.  My kids are too young for that.  But from what I have seen, the teenage years are an awkward time of growing pains and general surliness.  So, now you know what Ellen, Marc, Julie and the rest of the gang over at Ilium Software have to look forward to as Ilium prepares to enter its teenage years.

Of course, while they are all walking on eggshells, trying not to upset this delicate apple cart of a software company, they would all be remiss if they failed to celebrate this incredible occasion (and besides, this is one teenager who will throw a temper tantrum if you miss the BIG DAY!

So, come on and help Ilium celebrate.  You won’t want to miss this part…because there is plenty in it for you.  But I will let ilium’s own Julie tell you about the prizes:

A BIG five-day sale on all our software through our direct online store (for Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Palm OS, Windows PC). eWallet for the iPhone will also get discounted on the App Store. Just to leave you in suspense, I’m going to make you tune in next week to find out the specifics on the sale! On Monday, the full details will be available here: http://www.iliumsoft.com/twelveyears

Lots of fun on the blog too! We’ll be running contests during our anniversary week over at http://blog.iliumsoft.com with some really fantastic prizes. I could tell you more, but I don’t want to ruin the element of surprise – let’s just say I think everyone will have fun playing, and the winners will be treated very well indeed! And just so you know – you’re eligible to win the prizes too, so be sure to stop by next week and play along.

So, what are you waiting for?  Hurry over to Ilium and check out the deals and prizes.  Just…uhm…stay away from the first door on the left.  But you probably know better than to go into a teenager’s room.
