RetroChallenge Winter Warm-up 2008
Luddite, thanks for hosting the challenge. You did a great job.
I'm looking forward to see what everyone does for this summer.

Turned out much better than expected. Summer will be a blast!
Oh, will it ever! Heh heh heh.... }
I agree - wonderful job Luddite, it was great fun.
I can't decide which part of the retochallenge winner's presentation I like the best.
The lucrative prize money; the presentation of the golden 5 1/4" floppy by the Swedish bikini team, or the previous year's winner presenting the vintage Apple rainbow colored jacket, just like the Masters in golf - only more colorful.
But seriously - are we going to vote on the winners? (I know, it's not about the winning...and we don't have that complex points system from years past...)

I vote for voting!

Hey, it's Super Tuesday here in the states.
Time to vote.
No, not for the presidential primaries - for the retrochallenge!
I promise - a floppy in every household, defragment the national hard drive, and uh, strong network security. Yea, that's the ticket.

At the risk of getting completely off topic:
Why does it take so long to have an election in the US? Considering there's only two parties involved it seems a rather complicated affair.
Some of the procedures and timeframes are left over from colonial times.
Some states like Florida aren't happy with it either - and they are trying to buck the system. The parties don't like it though...
Congratulations to the winners 
If I hadn't spent the month doing exams I would have entered (and finished) my HyperCard RSS reader, when's next warm-up challenge?
