Well, not everybody is as cool as we are. Just submitting an entry is a big acomplishment for many. I'm sure there were 1000's of developers that wish they could compete but they just don't have the stamina nor endurance to commit every free time they have to a project outside of work. We may take it for granted we can do this because I'm sure that it comes naturally to many of us but believe me, most people cannot do this. Also, many simply don't believe they are good enough to enter a contest like this. Not because they do not know how to develope applications, but rather because they don't think that their ideas can win. I may have a very slim chance of winning, but I will not lose hope until the last moment. >The response was not overwhelming. I personally believe it was overwhelming since my initial estimates were around 150 entries only.
