+CharlieChaplin Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Creating something for the Abbuc Software Contest is NOT always for winning money - often it is just for taking part at the contest (similar to taking part at the olympic games). Not everyone is money hungry. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is money hungry. Well said @CharlieChaplin! I think it is great that the Abbuc Software Contest is not only for the best programmers in the galaxy, I like that beginners can participate too, and who knows..... maybe those beginners will become the star programmers of tomorrow. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
