True. And I'm sorry we couldn't have the full judging across multiple
exhibit categories as in the past, but there just weren't enough exhibits
to make it feasible.
If it's any consolation, I thoroughly enjoyed your exhibit (as I always
do). How many opportunities do you get to play Tic Tac Toe against an
IBM System/23 that has to take about 15 seconds between turns to think ;)
