Welcome to the 2008
RetroChallenge Winter Warm-up!
RetroChallenge is still
officially half a year off, but some
of us poor geeks just can't wait that
long to get started...
The Winter Warm-up is
a excuse for retro-geeks to strut their
stuff during the post-Xmas doldrums.
Like the RetroChallenge proper, the
Winter Warm-up is a chance for folks
to do something cool with their "obsolete" computers,
and then tell the world all about it.
There are no actual rules to speak of,
nor will there be any long drawn-out
discussion as to what qualifies as "retro" -- we'll
leave that up to the individual entrant.
Challenges can vary widely from person to person... You may want
to try your hand at programming, or perhaps
use your retro gear to create graphics
or music. Maybe you're more inclined toward
hardware hacking, or quite possibly just
installing a working OS on that old machine
is challenging enough. Whatever you're
into, and whatever your level of experience,
the most important aspect of the challenge
is just doing it.
Challengers are encouraged to keep a web page or blog describing
their progress and to join in the discussions
at the RetroBBS (telnet
to lorance.no-ip.org)
and the RetroChallenge
Forum at the 68KMLA.
