I'm sorry but you truly deserve this flame.

FTL has produced Amiga, Atart ST, and Apple IIGS versions of DM
(Perhaps more but these are the ones that I'm aware of).  So that
pretty much disproves your argument about porting.  I called them
asking about a Mac version and they said that they were thinking about
it but currently a IBM port was in the works.

Not only are you arrogant, you are ignorant.  FTL also makes a well
programmed game called OIDS.  It is one of the best games for the Mac
as far as animation and scrolling go, IMHO.  Also CSB does _not_
require DM.  The package labeling was done on the first shipment of
boxes before they decided to not require the first game. (Roughly
paraphrased from a FTL employee).

As I said before, they are working on the port right now, but you
since you hate them so much, why are you even interested in their
products?  Methinks there is a bit of jealousy raging in your body.

Since I have not seen EOB, I cannot comment on it, though I will look
forward to seeing/playing it.

In the future it would be nice if you thought about what you are going
to post.  Calling the people from FTL morons and asses is highly
uncalled for, IMO.  Have you ever spoken to anyone from FTL?  I've
talked to various members and have found all of them to be very
cherry, bright, and they have a great sense of humor.  Remember that
these are _real_ people you are talking about.  People have feelings,
don't you think it would be nice to respect them?
