My limited experience (from taking my Imlac to VCF
East 1.0) is that it is
not the unique single machine that wins the price, but the machine(s) which
the largest number of people attending have had some experience. If this is
true, the two are pretty much mutually exclusive by nature. I've also found
that more people seem to have had experience with the more recent "personal
computers" than have with older minis, et al.
Nothing is so vulgar as the people ;)
I'll definitely have to bite the bullet and have one less hour of sleep
preparing before the VCF to have more exhibit categories to award some of
the more interesting exhibits at the VCF that attendees "just don't get"
;)
Normally we have around 13 categories. This year, with the number of
exhibits we had, that many categories would have been overkill, so I pared
it down to one to make it simpler for myself.
Mea culpa, disparaged exhibitors.
