We can also try changing things around based upon our experiences
last year. One comment that I heard last year was that it was too
tedious. So here are my suggestions:
Maybe one creative challenge with an exhibition, rather than judging.
There would be one simple rule: it must be created entirely with
or entirely for a qualifying computer.
The endurance part can also be guided by one simple rule: you count
the number of days that you use qualifying computers exclusively.
(At least with respect to personal use.)
It may also make sense to make a qualifying computer an 8 or 16
bit personal computer. I'm fairly certain that everyone who
participated last year used a 6502 or a 68000, so we would not lose
anyone. We may also get 8 and 16-bit users who were discouraged
by the presence of 32-bit platforms.
But these are just my thoughts.
Byron.
