MSX will be available.

I'll have to lend a turboR, and I can get my hands on a PC (just take one
from the computer room).

Yeah, you're right.

Okay. We won't do that.

Well yes indeed that was my problem.

Ahh the second idea is also very nice!!!
The first idea... Well it's nice but maybe as a 'sub-contest', cause such a
thing won't take too much time...

That is a very good idea. I'll keep it in mind.
