The next issue of MacFormat will be our two hundredth, and we'd like to invite you to help us celebrate our bicentennial with a little nostalgia.
We'd like you to record a short video – no more than 60 seconds – telling us what your Mac-using life has been like over the past two hundred issues (we launched in 1993) and beyond. It could be about the magazine – have you been reading from the start? miss any of the old team? have a favourite feature that we once ran? – about the Macs that you've had over the years, about favourite moments in Apple's history... in fact it can be about pretty much anything Mac- or magazine-related you like!

How to shoot
If you have QuickTime Pro you can simply create a new video recording and capture straight from your iSight camera, and while you're welcome to break out an HD camera to shoot a scene worthy of Ridley Scott, what you have to say is much more important than what your video looks like. iMovie 06 also allow direct recording from an iSight or connected FireWire camera.

How to submit
Upload your video to YouTube and tag it with macformat200 – that way, anyone will be able to click on this link and, when people have started uploading their memories, we'll all be able to browse and enjoy them.

What we'll do with the videos
We'd like to put your videos on our coverdisc, and to showcase them on our website and Facebook group. To give us permission to do this, email us a link to your video on YouTube; doing so confirms that you give us permission to use the videos in these and other ways in promoting the magazine and its bicentennial.

Get shooting, folks! We're excited to see what you come up with!
