(FYI- Games Magazine has a contest or two in almost every issue. Some, like this month's "Word Marathon" are ideally suited to PC or VAX crunching (in fact I have several subprocsses running at this very moment working on them) ). My questions are: Are there many readers of Games magazine out there? Do you enter the contests? Do you use a computer? Do you wish people wouldn't use computers?? Do you want to discuss computer contest crunching, this current conttest in particular?? Thanks for yours time, eric holtman harpo!whuxle!eric ihnp4!whuxle!eric
