BasicBuilder's application for the PC seemed to me like it would win (see link). Since it was the only program for the Ti83+, it would gather most of the votes from the Ti83+ voters. But for the 68k calculators, there were two programs that were both fairly good, so it would split the vote between them (and this is exactly what happened). But, I imagine the same would have happened if there were two Ti83+ programs listed.

by looking at the votes it seems that their are more 83+ users so the 68k programs were probably doomed from the start

i predicted Acelgoyobis, and i was right. I didn't really try to predict the other ones.

I didn't try to predict the winners, but that's only because I was on my (2 month?) vacation from ticalc.org... :( ...I've missed you guys so much! ;) j/k...I've just been very busy. I get my computer on Thursday (TECHNICALLY tomorrow, but hey...) because it was delayed 2 days...I SHOULD HAVE IT NOW!!! Anyways, to get back on topic...I would have probably voted for some of the older programs because those are the ones that I have played, but then, before I voted, I would have tested the others I hadn't played, just so that they get a fair vote...So, honestly, I still don't know who I would have voted for, but, from the looks of the screenshots, all the programs look great, and I would like to extend a big congratulations to all of the winners!

What kind of computer?

We need a new poll!
BTW, I don't have any ideas.

Has anyone else tried to pronounce the name of this contest and wound up feeling very awkward? Just wondering.

You're supposed to spell it out. There *have* been jokes about it ever since it was first started. ;-)

Its sad, but at the time we were coming up with the whole concept, we certainly thought about it being a odd name, but did't care enough to try and come up with something different. It proved easer to just take the POTM and cange it to a 'Y' wether is made a word or not :-)
