I'm reaching the end of 31 Jan 2012, and the end of the Challenge. I must go sleep now. Farewell all, and thanks for all the fish.

Wrote a program, it didn't work. Turned out to be based upon a false premise. Debugging code on an 8899 front panel is fun

Even though I didn't vote 6502, I feel the love. Building a 6502 based machine is on my retrolist. Any suggestions?

Just played Elite on a 42" Plasma, why, I've no idea, but it was an experience.

Pretty sure I got my powerbook on the net yesterday, but without a web browser/ftp client/telnet client/etc., it was pretty pointless. Now if I could only find a usable floppy or get Appletalk working...

Yeah, the optical sensor that looks for the little hole in the disk is reading true all the time! Back to a 360K floppy for drive A...

Wordperfect was so much better than MS WORD it seemed heavenly at the time... I've always been more of an EDLIN.COM kinda guy, though.

Donate for Prizes!
The prize fund is entirely composed of donations. Typically entrants will receive a mouse mat/mug or some other such souvenir which will be the envy of all who set eyes on it and also an interesting conversation starter for you to launch into the battles fought and victories achieved during the RetroChallenge month! Timescales between winning and receiving prizes is legendary, but not one competition has seen winners miss out on any booty (eventually).
