- I'm SICK AND TIRED of people bitching about people bitching about flamewars
- being started by people mentioning that a flamewar might be started by their
- mentioning a flamewar that hasn't even happened yet, in fact, probably wont
- happen until late February... meanwhile, I can get an amiga flamewar RIGHT
- NOW, since they are being released next week as freeware, but all they include
- is a crippleware version of Game Workbench converted to the Lynx platform
- by some demo crew that used some ugly hack to get more than True colour
- on a VGA monitor... yet it doesn't even include a hardware clock, even though
- the official documentation states that it has a 14MHz clock, gee, I'm sick
- of being LIED to by these companies, especially Bill Gates, and if you
- want the IP numbers for atari.archive.umich.edu, all you need to do is
- read memory location 0xFC7413, but you need to be in supervisor mode to
- do that, so you'll need to get a pirated version of DisAssempro, but
- that's okat because the DisAssempro has already made enough money, and
- besides, I have children to feed, so I can't afford software, especially
- since I'm saving up for a Falcon... luck DC bit the big banana, because now
- I can get all their warez off the net... I wonder if they have something
- to fix my broken SM125 monitor, because I'm loyal to Atari, and I think
- people should stop complaining about how long this post is and BUY BUY BUY
- some shareware - what's wrong with Blox - and how the bejeezus can I hook-up
- my 8-channel DSP device at the same time as my softmodem, even if I can run
- the software in TrueColour - not that I have enough memory, since I only have
- a 1M machine, and the bus is so slow now that it's only a 16bit bus - damned
- lying officials, almost as bad as the version 0.01 Gemulator I bought
- for 0.02c - it didn't even run under PCdittoII, what a pile of junk, are
- they still in business?
-
- And is Lemmings out for the Atari TSTFM+e030?
- And what's MiNT?
- And how do I set up GCC?
