Right; if I hadn't stacked up every single article in the discussion, because someone warned me Mike Farren's very nice writeup was being savaged in .programmer, I wouldn't have known the problem existed, even with some later help by me. Since I went to the trouble to fight for and create .advocacy just to keep such long and pointless discussions out of the more useful groups, it seemed more than timely to point out that the discussion was occurring in (and had occurred from the beginning in) the wrong group. This was entirely due to you and Mike Schwartz posting your original inflamatory responses in the incorrect group. > And from what you say it seem like distributors force you to buy > games? I said no such thing. Please, with your limited command of English, stick to answering sentences you understand clearly. The net will be a better place for your self control. > Also games programers are programers, and most of the time they work > for people that are not programers. This sentence is a tautology, and makes no visible useful point. > Get 2 amiga if you really want to play play games while waiting for > your BBS transfere... I already own two Amigas, thank you. I use the one in my office nearly exclusively, and so I use games that _are_ compatible with downloads, and I don't use the other games. For me a game that doesn't multitask, or doesn't play from the hard disk, however attractive otherwise, turns out to be a waste of money because, in the fact, I don't end up playing it. If you want my money, you write a game I expect to use; if you don't, write for your audience and quit wasting my time trying to change my habits by trying to convince me that someone who only accepts games that multitask and play from the hard drive is evil, nasty, and _wrong_. Because I'm not listening. Kent, the man from xanth.
