500 points for getting your machine online and using all of the

variety), then you may have a leg up. Or maybe programming is your
thing. Perhaps there could be 50 points for submitting a small
demo, and 500 points for the demo which wins "best of show". Or
maybe you like desktop publishing and/or working with bitmapped
(B&W) graphics. Have 50 points for an entry, and 500 points for
the best of show. Ditto for colour graphics work, video, 3-D
modelling, etc. (anything which is visual and can be judged is
fair).
"marathon-iron-man" idea, where you give out points for enduring usage. But there should
be separate categories for 2d-art, 3d-art, programming, video, since they tend to gobble lots of
time by themselves. Personally, I don't code on a Mac Plus or Mac SE because it's just so much
less convenient than my Athlon machine with a 19inch monitor, connected to the web at all times,
where I can fish for examples from the mactech articles, from the THINK reference inside my
Basilisk II emulator, etc.
