- Heh, heh.... Well... Besides wasting "valuable bandwidth," I must follow
- this post up to fulfill my obligations to Ian. When he gave me MZ, he said
- I had to mention it in a flaming post... Well I'm not sure what I can
- flame Scot on except that his mother really screwed up and forgot to
- put a second "t" at the end of his first name (but then, what can you
- expect from a fish?) - I hope that counts as a flame. :-)
-
- Besides, I was feeling too popular on IRC the other night. I *HAVE* to
- piss someone off (net-cop alert! Vdub swore!) so I'll have to come up
- with something clever (I hope I don't sprain something!). Anyways,
- because a lot of people actually complained that Ian was *WASTING* his
- talents writing cross platform MOD players instead of something that
- could be of more general use to them, he became sullen and withdrawn.
- (Yeah, right!) After a good turn of making an offering to the porcelin
- god/likeness of Abaddon, divine inspiration reached him in which he
- reached back into his childhood and decided that noone would ever see
- the funky laser-beam and quadra-scope MOD player's light of day again.
- (Bwahahahaaaa...)
-
- So the long and the short of the story is that YOU CAN'T HAVE IT,
- at least until Ian grows up, or someone makes some stupendous apology
- to him that moves him to the point that he thinks he really is important,
- Scha!, and unveils ModZap for the world to once again see (or a handsome
- prince comes and kisses him (Abe? - ooops! Sorry, that's Yoshi's job!)
- and forever the spell is broken!) Ooops! I just realized that I'm
- pissing the WRONG people off! So sorry... ;-)
-
- But ModZap is really cool, and its come a long way... There are some
- good early versions out there that have already been released as well,
- but the last few are all limited distribution... Now if you see him,
- you could ASK NICELY for a copy in which case he might give you one
- (pump him up with questions about Mega-Tracker, but don't mention
- Tool-35!), or you could always get soniqTracker... :-)

- Tschus!
