</div>Yeah, I can see the need for judges if the best program can't be<br>
quantified in some objective way. I lean towards settling the contest<br>
on the program's field of battle. Personally I'm more motivated to find<br>
the best solution I can instead of something as open ended as "video<br>
game" or "email utility".<br>

Wouldn't you rather have about a dozen innovative, different tools that all do something different and useful? <br>
