I voted mostly for landscapes because they were visually pleasing - we
weren't looking at code, or difficulty or size.  

But I just downloaded 3.5 yesterday - I have a need for some of the
features.  And the code in this contest will be really helpful in
getting a handle on certain things - being small it is unencumbered with
extraneous detail.

So I'm looking forward to more contests, even though I'm out of ideas
currently. :-(

I'm a little surprised that people didn't comment their code in the text
file, though.  I guess I went overboard commenting nearly every line.
