Re: $10000 for the best BASIC program

It's rather funny, that the most fake and ridiculous post in the newsgroup
generated more replies than any "real" post.

Just thought I'd add that, seeing as though the poster got exactly what he
wanted; attention.

The winner will receive $10000, 2nd place $5000, 3rd
$2500, 4th $1250, 5th $625.

I'm sure this is totally fake and ridiculous... but even if it were
real, istn't it kind of ambiguous just to say the "best basic
program." Shouldn't there be some stipulation as to what the program
is supposed to do? I mean, could a 3 line basic program win out over
one that is hundreds of lines?
