Well, Steve Ciarcia's Heathkit IO-105 has been won. It was a tough
choice amongst the many and varied entries. I lost a little sleep
worrying about whether or not I had made the right choice. But to give
everyone who entered this contest their due, let me list the runners up
before announcing the BIG winner:

First and fastest offer - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Best CP/M related offer - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Best 8080-code compatible offer - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Best hardware offer (general) - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Best hardware offer (CPU) - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Best computer related item ever mentioned in a computer magazine - NEC
V-20 from Ethan Dicks
Last offer - NEC V-20 from Ethan Dicks

... And the BIG winner of this fabulous fuse-blowing marvel is - NEC
V-20 from Ethan Dicks

Congratulations, Ethan! This 'scope is now yours and the faster I can
get it out of my basement, the better.
