- Well, no, I've never heard about the man, and I've never seen any of
- his hacks (all my Amiga-heroes are european coders...) and around here
- he isn't the counted as the "original Amiga hacker".
- I assumed that he was a beginner who wanted to learn how to code
- (since he didn't seem to know anything about demo-coding) and tried to
- give a few hints. I appologize if I was sounding too simple.
