If you're reading this from Denver...

"Match Game SF" has been scheduled for the Grand Ballroom, which is a huge room, but they're not allowed to put up flyers because of hotel rules, so they're worried a lot of people won't know about it. I did it at Norwescon as a contestant (and audience member), it's a laff riot. Go, and take friends with you!

thousands of calculations per second!

There should be an Omeganaut round for some uber-old-school gaming, like this. How many computer games do you know ran on Univac hardware, or on Multics? Or if not that - if it's not visual enough - they should at least have a round of this, and on the original hardware. "Okay, these debug-console bit toggles are for player one, and these are for player two." Awesome.

Or, fine, here're versions of the first one for modern hardware. Be that way. But Multics is now open-source, so if you're insane, you can try to port it to hardware that actually exists, and then run the original source! Or work on the Multics hardware emulator, boot the OS, and then run the game. Whatever, you know, seems good.

WHY AM I SO DAMN SLEEPY?

Well? YOU TELL ME. I dunno!
