- Well, I downloaded the 662K eurochart demo to see what one of those things
- was like, (since from the descriptions of the chart demos I just couldn't
- believe someone would waste coding time presenting simple text files -
- programmers really *are* peculiar! ;>)
-
- Anyway, the music was quite nice, and there seem to be several tunes on it,
- but it just sat there saying "Static Bytes EuroChart" with a list that
- said things like "Best arcade game" and "Best Coders", etc. It never
- got any further. It simply hung...sort of "static-like". (That group is
- *quite* well named if there is no motion in these chart demos).
-
- I got this copy off of wuarchive, and it took 2 hours to download at 1200
- baud...and then it just sits there. I think I will record the music onto
- a cassette tape andthen delete the thing.
-
- Does anyone know how many different tunes are on that demo?
-
- Thanks,
- Crystal

-
- (And *PLEASE* don't suggest I get a faster modem! I'm unemployed and have
- other priorities...and I am growing weary of people telling what hardware
- I *should* have - when right now I have what I *NEED*.)
