- Hey, buddy, haven't you ever heard of LOOK AND FEEL?? That's MY
- posting style!!! It's trademarked, patented, copyrighted, and copy
- PROTECTED! I'm gonna sue, I'm gonna sue....
-
- Jeez, next thing you know, somebody will start posting articles
- with the look & feel of other USENETers. Can you imagine:
-
- ? "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if Commodore doesn't
- produce a 25-bit chipset immediately, they won't stand a chance
- against the new Japanese game machine."
-
- ? "Yup, you are nearly correct. The 68040 cache disables the VPL
- interrupt several nanoseconds before the beam hits the disk. It
- doesn't need to go to the bus."
-
- ? "X is a bloated pig that deserves to die. My old 3B1 moves windows
- faster."
-
- ? "Why buy an A3000UX for $5000 when you can get a NeXT for $3000?
- It's clearly the superior machine in all respects."
-
- ? "HEY DOODZ LIKE KNOW ANY PIRATE BOARDZ???"
-
- ? "BADGE (Bay Area Amiga Developers' GroupE) will host its July 1997
- meeting at 7:30pm in the SLAC Main Auditorium. The featured speaker
- will be Dr. Ray Cromwell discussing his COLORMONGER Card Mark XII."
-
- ? "but thats not what I meant!
- In asembler you do not use the jmp without first mov sr,ea!"
-
- ? "*** I want games that look like Madonna but play like an old,
- scratchy, 78 rpm record. ***"
-
- ? "Captain! The Marketroids are closing in!"
-
- ? "Responding to the following:
-
- 'The Macintosh reminds me of tuna fish.'
-
- Where did you hear this? It's not true at all. In fact, the Mac's
- new 7.0 priority scheduler makes it much more like halibut."
-
- ? "No idiot in his right mind would use the Amiga OS source code to
- break the rules. In fact, the rules break the Amiga OS source code.
- Or something like that."
-
- ? "Please throw out your OS disassembly and use only the RKM's.
- Also, throw out all of your software and use only the manuals that
- came with it. If there wasn't a manual at all, then you should
- not have bought the program."
-
- ? "Even since my grand reorganization,
- these groups are still too big!
- I'd prefer only one or two
- articles per day.
- And maybe only
- one word
- per
- line."
-
- So PLEASE everybody, let's avoid this kind of horror by posting in our OWN,
- DISTINCT STYLES. Otherwise, somebody's gonna get flamed.
-
- And it will probably be me! :-)
