I really like the idea, but I'm not convinced that it wouldn't change the
atmosphere of the contest to something more competitive.  If we find
something like that, I'd certianly like to win it, but if it dosen't happen
I won't be crushed.  Also, I heard a rumor that Vectrapoint went under and
is no longer producing AquaJournal.

If we decide to go with prizes, I don't have a problem volunteering to track
some of that stuff down.
