Message-ID: <1990Oct4.202719.15398@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu> Date: 4 Oct 90 20:27:19 GMT References: <6206662@ub.cc.umich.edu> <1990Oct4.194648.14215@nntp-server.caltech.edu> Sender: news@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (News) Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 25 Recently I received a beta version of a sound program written by a friend of a friend. It stated in the About... page that it had won some sort of programming contest on America Online. Now, I don't think that we're any less intelligent than on any of the pay-services (they have Bitch/Rumor threads on GEnie too). Why don't we have a contest like that here? A notice could be posted once a week or so for a couple months to gain interest. Judges would be chosen and would pick winners in several categories (we'd want to give older two users a separate category, no?). I don't think there's a lack of innovation in the software field, I just think we're missing it. I'm as much to blame as anyone for wasting bandwidth on flamefests directed towards Apple, so here's my apology/idea. I don't want to take part in judging, because I'd like to compete! :) So, is anyone interested in taking this up? It could be a right welcome thing for us to do, considering most of the traffic here this month. -- Jawaid Bazyar | Blondes in big black cars look better wearing Senior/Computer Engineering | their dark sunglasses at night.
