@f01@t4@cTALE OF BOOT-TOOLS AND OTHER USELESS THINGS
@f00@t5Warning... This story about
Boot-tools is satire, because it
satirically deals with Boot-tools!!!
Be aware of that. Again, it is a
stupid but sunny day (as KAKTUS once
said: Those days are always sunny!)
and once again I have just got some
'new stuff' from my friendly postman.
After starting my 'megacool' machine
(still enjoying this sunny day... ),
I took those 'disx' and warped 'em
into da Floppy ( Uuuh, I get excited
when using this scene-slang!!! )
guess what I saw? Yes, of course
another 'Mega-, Giga-, supra-large
epoch-making totally brainsmashing and
absolutly useless...'

UTIL-BOOT VOL 1024.13zzz by
I-AM-SO-COOL of WE-ARE-EVEN-COOLER <<<
Wow, look at this...
@t4F1: MEM off/on F6: Kill Virus
F2: Hard Reset F7: Kill Drives
F3: Toggle Drives F8: ECS50/60Hz
F4: Toggle LED/Filter F9: PAL
F5: Install/Write Boot F0: Exit CLI
@t5
One line tells me that COLD, COOL and
KICK are ok ( "Well, how pleasant for
them, I think."). No Vectors are
changed and therefore there is no
known Virus in MEM. and because of
that, I do not have to press F6.
Quite interesting, isn't it? On the
@#
@^
@t5next disk I even find something more
cool: A further UTIL-BOOT, but this
time only the adresses of COLD, COOL,
KICK, ... are given. Hey, this is
cool! Now even a stupid Swapper,
GFXer and Musicians like me is allowed
to have a deeper look in the deeper
chambers of techno- logical insanity (
"You don't know the meaning of these
adresses? You surely must be a
LAMER!!!"). On the third disk finally
I'm able to find the 'Mega,
Giga,...'update of UTIL-BOOT VOL
1024.13zzz by ... of ... <<< And
GOSH! - there is a new one-coloured
Copperline. This is what I call an
updated version!.
@t4FINALY
@t5Well, friends. I hope you got the
point and did not take this as a
@^
@t5personal offence. I think the major
part of you out there know what I am
criticizing, but for all the others
here a short explaination: I do NOT
criticize people for doing those
utilities and I even think, they are
useful, because they help to identify
viruses at once... But: I think, it
is rather stupid to do updated
versions with no innovations and I
have doubts that it is a very hard
piece of coding, so do not put your
names in with oversized letters, while
the real options are nearly unreadable
on smaller monitors. Better avoid
'tools' where only the Hex.Dec.-codes
are shown, because many people are not
able to read them properly (if you do
not need real options to identify
viruses, or what- ever, yourself...
DO NOT SPREAD THEM! ). The most
@#
@^
@t5ridiculous thing, I realized is that
in certain groups seemingly everybody
has his own boot and spreads it like
hell. Mainly there are really no
differences in them sometimes they are
even made by one and the same coder,
who only changed the presentation,
while the options and functions are
all the same... So, remember: You
can't get famous if you rearrange
things that already exist! Better do
something new for your own and leave
us alone with the >>> UTIL-BOOT
1024.14zzz <<<, think about it!
