I think getting the disk with all the winning enteries on it was far better than the $100 check they sent.

first computer was an XT class clone, prior to that i had an atari 400 (upgraded to 8K ram). anybody remember the PCs when PC stood for 'Portable Computer?' built in monitor and flip down keyboard, but i think they meant Man Portable in the same way that the military means Man Portable. if it has a handle, you can move it.
