BZZZT!  And thanks to everyone who played the April Fool's Day Game :-)
Opening the envelope, we have the following...

_Funniest Postings Award_ goes to Donald R Lloyd, who authored (among
others) the "Computer Possessed by Elvis" article.

_Innovation Award_ goes to Ivan I, "IBM Zurich announces new chip",
here in c.s.a.advocacy... about the incredible "Timeless" chip.

_Wish It Were True Award_ goes to Skip Sauls' "DoubleDenise Video Enhancer"
advertisement here in c.s.a.advocacy.  Drat. It sounded great!

_Wicked Joke Award_ goes to another Skip for his "A2500HD For Sale" in
c.s.a.marketplace, where he offered an incredible system for cheap, so that
he "could use the money to get an Apple //c instead" ;-)

_Most Subtle Jokes Award_ goes to: David Tiberio, who racked up quite
a few responses to such gems as his:

  c.s.a.emulations, "AMAX rom patch question" - Asking for help with
  explicitly pirated versions of AMAX and SYBIL.  Got lots of flames.

  c.s.a.graphics, "Imagine 2.0 question" - Asking for dumb help; whined
  that updates requiring sending in the original disks.

  c.s.a.hardware, "Amiga ROM access" - Baldly claimed a Dave Haynie posting
  was wrong, accusing that "You probably never even LOOKED inside an Amiga,
  let alone a hand calculator."    :-)

  c.s.a.misc, "AmiExpo in Berlin" - Set himself up as a perfect mugger's
  victim by describing his clothes and talking about carrying $6000 cash!

  c.s.a.advocacy, "New Hardware Now Shipping" - Here he simply told the
  truth about the A600, CDTV ->1000<-, and A3000T... and got flamed!  Ha!
  An inspired parody of fake postings, and a magnet for know-it-alls.
  
_Smallest Funny Bone Award_ is shared by all those who got suckered in.

Did I miss any?  Until next year... :-)   kevin <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>


From David Tiberio:

>Did I miss any?  Until next year... :-)   kevin <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>

	bit.listserv.i-amiga - 'Bird's of Prey' - this game keeps
on asking for stuff from the manual in order to play it...how am I
supposed to get by that screen? My friend who gave it to me couldn't
figure it out either...

	unfortunately, though, this received no follow-ups or replys... :(

  Looks like the bit.listserv.i-amiga people weren't paying
  any attention.  Oh well...
