Spent a few hours last night getting the tapes and cards together.

I haven't printed the J card inserts yet because I am waiting on the contest to end and a winner to be selected so I can finish the cover art.

Welp, here's the deal....

 

In 10 minutes, the contest entries will be finished. I am RIGHT NOW trying to transfer files to my TI, but I cannot seem to get the HDX dsr loaded onto my rs232 card... I am losing it... :lol:

 

I need to get it transferred over to the TI so I can take videos of each demo, then post that video to a new thread which will contain a private anonymous poll for folks to vote on their favorite demo. A couple days later, I will close the poll, announce the winner, print the J Cards with the winning demo on the cover, shrink wrap them, put them in shipping boxes, and send them out.

 

At some point during this process, I need to collect addresses from those who ordered, I need to get the shipping fees in my account so I can afford to send them all over the world, and I need to find time to physically take them to the post office and mail them off, all in time for Christmas day.

 

 

Whew!!!!

 

 

But it all starts with getting the HDX running. I cannot even use this rs232 card as a regular rs232 card right now because it no longer has the capacity to function as an rs232 card without a proper DSR... a DSR that arcadeshopper kindly sent me on a disk, but that I cannot get to load onto the card.

 

 

I am losing it...

***************CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED!!!!******************

 

 

Some excellent entries this year... some brilliant programming done by some fine programmers. :)

 

I will hopefully be posting a video of all the demos shortly, showing each one off for 10-20 seconds a piece. Then, as stated before, we'll open an anonymous poll to see which demo was the most festive. :)

 

Once that is determined, I will print the finalized cassette inserts and start shipping.

 

Thanks to all who participated!

Expect a video tonight or early tomorrow morning. I was able to get the demos transferred!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

I'll do the video and then start making tapes for distribution. Once the video is posted, I'll post the poll and we can hopefully stay on schedule in order to get these tapes to their homes by Christmas!
