There was the issue that if you cracked the computer, you owned it and
then of course, there was the $20,000/$10,000/$5,000 cash prizes so I
really don't buy into the argument that it wasn't worth the time not
considering the 'honor' of being the one to crack it which might be the
greater prize in that group.
