Retrochallenge, 2005

Pretty lame that they're allowing the use of 486 stuff. The site says an article about the winners will be published in "MLAgazine" -- what the heck is that? I just found the site http://www.mlagazine.com ... claims to be "devoted to the history of the personal computer, the people that made it and the people who sold it" ... but from most of its news and links ( http://tinyurl.com/dg2x5 ) it appears to be just another Mac groupie site. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ronald Wayne Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 11:05 AM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Retrochallenge, 2005 Do you depend upon modern computers, or are you a creative spirit who can push the limits of your old hardware in order to fulfill your everyday needs? The Retrochallenge is where you find out. What are these challenges? If you enjoy creating original artwork, music, or programs on your legacy computer, then the creative challenges are for you. The second challenge is simply using a qualifying computer through the month of July, in a competition to see can survive a month without the latest in gadgetry. The third challenges judges how well you could communicate with the outside world on a retrocomputer.
