| And The Winners Are... |

It was really tough picking winners, especially since many entrants qualified for multiple categories... not to mention the judges complete lack of consensus. Anyway, without further ado:
[drumroll]
- Programming: This was the toughest category to judge, but PrintStar's efforts with The DEC Rainbow 100 were thoroughly entertaining. Bonus points for the most obscure and least glamourous platform.
Creative: Mycroft wins again with his belly-dance drumming tutorial put together and hosted on a vintage PowerBook.
Endurance: Scott Baret took this category by whipping up an entire novel on his failing Mac Plus.
Hardware: Oldbitcollector's Commodore 64 game controller hacks were thoroughly inspiring.
The four first place winners will receive an official RetroChallenge mouse pad... everyone else gets a well-deserved pat on the back!

Woot! Glad to see it all wrapped up. Congrats to the 4 winners!
BTW Luddite, can we see what the mousepads look like, for those who didn't win?
Oh yeah, I should say I don't mind not getting the neat 'pad: I'm getting an Apple IIc+ this weekend! 😀

Congrats to the winners. The mouse-pad looks nice. I have to say, I think PrintStar and Pukka should have been co-winners of the programming category and split the mouse-pad.

I think PrintStar and Pukka should have been co-winners of the programming category and split the mouse-pad. Surely a timeshare would be more practical ;-)

Lol
On a serious note, it's a nice but expensive mouse-pad... How much of the proceeds does RetroChallenge get? I'd like to support RC, and need a mouse-pad.
