Well it may have seemed tacky, but I felt that's the only way anyone would pull their heads out of all this technical bullsh*t and sit up and take notice. One time before I posted something about an IBM portable moving animations and got nothing but flamage and snide little remarks. So I figured I'd try this route and suddenly I'm Marc Barrett. Or I worship him. Or something like that. Well motherf*** that. I don't know exactly who he is, and how prominent he is with commodore, or if he even is affiliated with C= (some people told me he was designing a new Ami chipset), but there are some things that he says that are extremely valid and pertinent. So let me just sum it up: 1) People need to get wit the program and think up some new ideas for the Ami (I'm not bein specific. Anything will do) 2) If you flame enough you will burn your own house down. 3) People with glass houses (they will be if we keep going like this) shouldn't throw stones. 4) And all that. Seeyaz.
