- Now for the worst part of this, potential nightmere.
- The famous C64(Commodore,TI,Timex,Sinclair,Atari-64)
- or just C-64 (64 Kb) can be emulated by an IBM clone with a DOS
- program, I'll get the D/L for all of you next time I hit alt.bin.c64s
-
- Also available, are 100's of old C64 games to go with the C64
- emulator. The games are as great as they were twenty years ago.
- Thats the problem, we continue to become more sophisticated in our
- games, with Megabytes strewn about here and there.
- Now a days Those old games are just old games.
-
- If you can fool a IBM into thinking its a C64 its going to
- develop problems later on in life with co-dependency, low self esteem,
- and probably start hanging with a bad bunch of chips. Get a computer
- starded on drugs and they will burn up.
- I rue the day a Packard-Bell shows up alone in Warez with your Word
- processing software.
- Imagine being blackmailed by a Toshiba, that is threatening to Upload
- your financial records to some, silicon babe, at Microsoft, for a few
- measly bytes of RAM.
- Sad Sad Sad to see the seedier side of silicon life.
- Then we have increased social unrest, and created another minority
- group to kick around(Hey! not to bad an idea). I was getting tired of
- picking on Russians, and Germans, and Africans. (maybe not the krauts,
- I still give them a hard time). There is nothing more heart rending
- than a computer family with young ones out on the streets, stealing,
- Begging, Pan handling.
- We have all seen it before, don't pretend.
- I get rid of them by acting like I can't tell a CPU from a tower.
- or forget their names and call a 486 a 286.
- That hurts the little Silicon dirt balls. I mean, what the hell, its
- only a piece of quartz a common rock. Right, well am I right.
-
- Shit, then the Welfare crap starts, riots, chips against magnetic
- discs.
- Magneto-Optical's give me a pain they think they are so superior, then
- in a short 18 months they are on the bottom of the heap, Bragging on
- the good old days, last year.
-
- Even a Dip switch won't feel safe.
- The most hypocritical is that you thought it was a good idea.
- Do you really care when you destroy the life of these little
- creatures. Just so you can get your jollies off playing PONG.
-
- 'nuff said with that there
-
- Maybe too much said, but I hate these little crystaline cretins. We
- should take them all out, to the woods, hook wires up to them and turn
- on the juice.
- "Thats my solution
- to the silicon wafer revolution"
-
- I don't want a family of those creaps living next to me.
- Later
