As I flamed before, you illiterate cretin, I was there at the party. That code
wheel made use of that stupid EA product rather difficult. Jerry was not the
person trying to run it. I was as wella s three other computer literate guests.

But I guess you have all the intelligence in the world and everything works jus
fine for you. Please tell me how you manage this wonderous feat.

You a**holes are the reason Jerry is so put off on the Amiga. He cannot seem
to say boo without some illiterate flaming him for stupid reasons.

Meanwhile, it seems you are way to dumb to understand sarcasm when you see it.
Go back and crawl under the rock you came up from under, twit. You have
managed to rather infuriate me this time.
