- very versatile and it doesn't react very quickly, 1000 lines of C code
- on a Commodore 64, if you try to look at too much at once it all
- starts to flicker. So if you were wondering whether there can be
- anything more in life than just the same stuff over and over, well no
- there can't, that's all there is to it, sorry, maybe the next version
- will be better that way.

- Besides, we don't like it if you stress the illusions we've made for
- you, stick to the standard demos, we're sure we've worked them out
- properly.

- When you get a fever you sing "It isn't easy being green?" I think
- I'll take the coal miner. But we'll kick the speakers and adjust the
- tint if it makes you feel any better.
