    OBC,

    Honestly I was hoping I would at least place in one of the last place spots but that is the way these things go.· It was fun trying.

    Congratulations, ry.david.

    I was pleasantly surprised—more like shocked—to learn that Sphinx took 3rd!

    I guess now we just have to wait for Mr. Turing Machine to check in... [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    It was so hard to guess who could win with so few people saying what they were submitting.· When I saw your turing machine I thought for sure you would win.· However, I also thought OBC would win too.·It will be interesting to see what projects did win.·

    I should be able to·get all the information up by tomorrow; I loaded up all the images and source files yesterday, so now all that remains is layout and repetition.

    I shall reply to this thread as soon as I've opened the 12 new pages to the public, and then this mystery shall be solved!
    MYSTERY!

    Yes; Sphinx is amazing, and the Turing machine blew me away. Those are the only two I've seen before, but *boy* is the bar set pretty high these days.

    To the winners: we signed your checks today! So part of the contest is wrapped up. I can't give away more than that.

    I don't know much about the entries yet, but there were some pretty serious deliberations going on earlier this week in the conference room. I think we were pleased with the submittals and I'm sure the web team looks forward to posting them.

    I must ask, who are these people? I probably converse with them daily and never know it! The only person on there I recognize is Michael Park (mpark) and Jeff Ledger (OBC). I now see that it was a good idea to suggest to mpark that he should enter Sphinx. Congrats to all!!
