Congratulations!

However I do feel the Olympics have lost sight
of their original fiat and are now corrupted by
commercialism, drug-taking and other nastinesses
beyond redemption.

Let's redress  things by having a "RunRev Coding Games"
in Rio at the same time, where either individuals or
teams are each given a clean computer (i.e. containing
no RunRev code except for a copy of Studio) and a
theme for a limited time (say, 12-15 hours) in which to
create a program. We could even have a flame carried
all the way from Edinburgh fueled by Adobe Flash Cds!
