that's entry #7, I believe. Thank you! I observe that all the entries so far have been "essay type" entries. it's no surprise that ALL the previous winning entries (all won by Viking Koder!) were NON-essay type entries, but rather hard facts entries. This time, even Viking Koder (perhaps realizing that no one else would come to the bat with a 'hard-facts' entry) has also taken the essay route (and why not, if he feesl he can win that way?) No one has, for example, spent 40 seconds picking up a fone and calling the CEO of walmart and asking what % level of customers they will bother introducing a new POS system (that would win the contest, don't you think?) So, the four grams is still on the line (not the biggest prize in the world, but someone may want it!) and the contest is still wide open since, as yet, all the entries have been of the same "mode" -- no graphical entries, no "data" entries, no fact-finding entries, etc. Enter if you dare!
