Hacker of Iron, MacHack 2002
This is a copy of this year's ballot. Voting happens during lunch on the same day as the Hack Show, and results get announced at that evening's banquet.
We had sixty-five hacks entered in this year's MacHax(tm) Best Hack Contest, an early-morning five hour show!
Once again, we'd like to thank everyone who entered for the fun, excitement, and hacks!
This year's theme ingredient was DogCow!
16th Annual MacHax(tm)
