- Greetings.
-
- I'm back with more questions and comments in another "digest". For
- those who don't know, I only have access to my mail on weekends (that
- is, until summer).
-
- Again, as in the previous digest, I don't have much to comment on
- except for one or two things I've seen pop up lately, and I feel led
- to throw my two cents worth in..
-
- On the subject of LaRgE, HuGe, or EnOrMoUs files, Mr. Collin and Mr.
- Hyland seem to have been the leaders of this latest hair-pulling
- star-hot debate. I have something to say about their arguing:
-
- Mr. Collin:
- >> This all sounds a bit fascist to me is your name really Branko
- >> Collin or is it Branko Hitler?
-
- > No, fascist is when I try to impose my will by force. What I am
- > doing is trying to impose my will by trying to get people on my
- > side, which is called democracy, and by trying to influence the
- > people that matter, which is how the Internet works.
-
- Well, I'm on Mr. Collin's side. There should be a limit. No, not to
- small, such as 4k, which in my opinion is TOTALLY ridiculous (except
- for those with slower connections, mind you, I'm not one of them.) I
- have no problem with large files, >500k, as I have a fast connection
- (like alot of people on this list) that is 28.8 or 14.4+.
-
- Now, Mr. Hyland:
- > Hard drive space is not unlimited you know.
-
- No one said it was.
-
- > According to Bem Crowl "Nobody is stuck with a 4K limite.. this was
- > just the opinion of ONE person" This one person wouldn't be you by
- > any chance?
-
- Well, the opinion of ONE person may not be able to do anything, but
- the opinion of TWO or more may be able to change things. And, by the
- way, there is ONE person who has more POWER than any of our OPINIONS,
- and he's the Administrator of this list, Michael Cox.
-
- > I do not remember any one appointing you as the AmosList Gestapo.
- Like I said, Mr. Collin may not be, but Mr. Cox IS.
-
- One more thing, Mr. Hyland, if your going to continue to complain
- and continue to raise heck over the issue itself, why don't you just
- UNSUBSCRIBE yourself from this list, because I know that I can do
- without your bickering.
-
- Now that that's over with..
-
- Mr. Giark asked in regard to his query to anyone
- that wanted his 500k .lha file of Alien Breed data:
-
- > Which of you didn't receive it? When it returns undeliverable copies,
- > it returns the whole 1.3meg file, so I don't know who didn't get it.
-
- I have yet to recieve the file. Please go ahead and resend it if you
- already have not. Thanks.
-
- That's about it. I just thought everyone would be happy to know (and
- for those who haven't already checked my pages or have not been by to
- check my pages lately), they're FINALLY FINISHED! YES! Well,
- actually, at the time of this writing, I still have yet to do these:
-
- 1. About pages
- 2. Download area
- 3. Information page
- 4. News pages
-
- The Information and News pages will take the longest, but,
- nonetheless, I finally have all of the graphics done, I did finally
- decided on a new look (after about a month or two), and the pages
- preivously listed should be finished over the weekend. If you stop
- by, I'm setting up a guest book, so I would appreciate it if you
- would either sign IT or mail me and tell me what you think.
-
- Btw, for those of you who use Amiga browser, tell me what you think
- of the frames/noframes difference and how well all of the pages are
- displayed on an Amiga and Amiga browser. I would like to know. Thanks
-
- One more thing, for those who don't know, there are two Adam's on
- this list (maybe more I don't know of), but the one to whom I'm
- referring is Adam Wilkinson. Please don't get us mixed up.
-
- Thanks again for reading another of my digests.
-
- Long live the Amiga!
