- Lingo usd in demoes etc. is becaming
- illezible. Exprezzons like sum, U, 4,
- 2 are steeling room from reel stuff,
- correcter, reedable material.I meen, it
- is a reel horror nauadays to try to
- reed thruogh let's say a Baitreapers
- demo.
- I ain't complainig bat sum off dem
- dings i huv hav to reed thruogh hev
- bean obaut dis lvl. Its luvely, ain't
- it? Seriously, it's all right to write
- stuff and make mistakes, main thing is
- to try. But when the text goes over the
- edge, it simply doesn't fulfill it's
- major function: communication. If you
- don't have anything cool to say, don't
- try to be artistic writing pronounced
- english like I have seen in some demos.
- Its rioli impassibl to riid, and
- igstriimli adziteiting. Instead, try to
- develop a new way of expressing media,

- the old one-line scroll format is
- really an ineffective way of media
- transmitting. Some ways to improve the
- existing scrolls:
- 1) Pause-option. Decreases the ire
- caused by untimely interruptions from
- external sources like neighbour, Mom or
- Dad.
- 2) Adjustable scroll-speed . Even if
- the writer or coder is a dyslexic moron
- and can't read more than five words a
- minute (like Grendel) about 95% of the
- demo-readers read at different speeds.
- 3) A vertical scroll, maybe ten chars
- wide governing any part of the screen,
- but stretching from the top to bottom.
- There should be about as much room for
- development as with horizontal scrolls.
- I hope these points don't offend
- anybody (exept Grendel). Reason for
- this article is that I know about 10^25
- better ways to use computer during the
- time it takes to read 35Kb text from a
- scroll that can't outrun a snail.
