When the Skybox contest was first started years ago, I'm not sure if I even had a laptop yet...if I did, when I traveled it was hard to get internet access...I remember trying load the Prodigy and then the Roadrunner software onto my laptop, and then trying to find local access numbers for dial-up access just so I could log on and not miss a week of the contest...it was very hard to make sure that the picks were in every week. Now I carry a laptop everywhere, hotels have wireless access and computers in the lobby...I can get modem access, I can borrow my kids computers, and the only thing I have to worry about is forgetting to make my picks. And there really is no point, since that last week has half the points and will be the throw-out for everyone anyway.
