-
- Every week, in my real job, I
- research, write, prepare, and present
- an eighteen minute sermon. I write it
- all down (eight hand-written notebook
- pages), memorize it, and preach
- without notes.
-
- Therefore, I have a certain
- short-term memory buffer in my head,
- which is fairly well wiped clean every
- Sunday afternoon. I tell you all of
- this because one of our loyal
- LOADSTARites called a couple of weeks
- ago -- and I can't remember his name!
-
- Sorry! I must have stored that
- information -- along with where I put
- the scrap of paper I on which I wrote
- it -- in that short-term memory
- buffer! However, two important bits of
- our phone conversation survived the
- memory purge:
-
- 1. This person was renewing his
- subscription and needed our
- address.
-
- 2. His first C-64 came to him from a
- young relative who beat it to
- death playing Frantic Freddie!
-
- So I got online and visited
- www.c64.com -- an amazing site with
- hundreds of C-64 games available for
- downloading. Frantic Freddie was
- there, so I downloaded.
-
- Fred bears a resemblance to Under
- the Tenement or Loderunner. The object
- is to Grab and Run! After a number of
- fatal errors (I need a new joystick) I
- fully understand why this game led to
- the destruction of a C-64.
-
- So, LOADSTAR hereby refuses to
- accept any responsibility for any
- physical damage you may cause your
- machine while in an addictive frenzy!
- So be careful in here!
