- *DEMO COMPETITION* For the young, old, beginners to experts!
-
- Hello, and greetings! This post is to determine if there is any interest out
- in the greater universe of holding some form of demo competition on the
- Acorn Archimedes/Axxxx line of computers. Recently RiscMan and I, were
- having a bit of a banter on IRC - just the usual "my-code-is-better-than-your-
- code" sort of thing, when we decided we should settle it once and for all with
- some kind of demo competition. Having thought a bit about this, I came to the
- conclusion that it might be wise to hold a universe wide demo competition.
-
- Anyway if anyone else is interested in holding an adhoc-informal demo
- competition, then feel free to send your expressions of interest to me.
- So far, no restrictions on the content, size, machines for the demos have
- really been proposed... it might be necessary to have two divisions.
- [grumble grumble... i only have a A310, while grumble RiscMan has a A5000...]
-
- So if you have any questions [such as what is a demo?], or suggestions
- mail me *now*. Ideally we want a best demo of '92 sort of competition.
-
- Regards, James.
