Retrocomputing enthusiasts the World over are cordially invited to
participate
in the 2008 RetroChallenge, commencing July 1, 2008.

RetroChallenge is an opportunity for fans of "obsolete" platforms to
spend a
month pushing their retrocomputing limits in the company of like-
minded geeks.
Participants set their own goal(s) and typically keep the community
apprised of
progress via weblogs or on the Retro BBS.

Challenges are as unique as the individual RetroChallenger -- in the
past
participants have programmed games; created music and video content;
performed
dangerous hardware hacks or simply spent a month trying to get an old
computer
to boot.

RetroChallenge is not so much about competing, as it is about sharing.
Think of
it as an on-line show-and-tell for RetroGeeks. Because the individual
challenges
are self-posed, the RetroChallenge is equally well-suited to hoary old
wizards
and tender newbies alike. It's not about winning, but about *doing*.

RetroChallenge is open to *all* retrocomputing platforms. For the sake
of
simplicity (and to avoid the usual endless debate), the criteria for
what
constitutes a "retro system" is anything older than 10 years, though
obviously the older the better.
