It turns out that the announcement I saw was for internal
review (although noone told me that!)  So, the folks at the
1-800 number aren't ready to process requests for kits yet.
BUT, YES, there IS a contest.  It has been approved,
and will run just as I described.  Call the 1-800 number
after 12/10 to get your entry kit.  PLEASE don't call
before then, or I'll get more nasty looks from my
boss (it seems that the phone lines were saturated
with calls within 3 hours of my posting).  Meanwhile, I'm sure
that lack of those details won't hamper folks from
thinking about what they can do with a small RTX board.

I don't speak for them, and they don't speak for me.
