Subject: Messages for Igor, Sendy, Drunken Master and Erix1, and two URLs fo
A mixed bag of comments here (I've had trouble connecting recently,
despite my ISP trying all that they can (as in "doing b*gg*er all
except charge me national rates for their laughingly named "tech
support")), oh well...
Igor, I've not gotten your messages, I've e-mailed you a few
times, with no reply. My e-mail address (freeserve, as you know)
should be working again, (as the endless spam advertising mortgages,
Viagra, teen websites and so on, that I receive daily seem to
indicate), so please e-mail me again, and hopefully it'll get through
now. Failing that we'll have to start a Yahoo! club where we can
communicate via the posts! I was a bit dissapointed (well, suicidal,
actually!) to find that your latest creation isn't yet released, but
there's still sixteen days left to Christmas, so there's still hope!
Sendy, Happy birthday! Have you released Strangel SE and Manic Person
yet? Will Death TV ever be finished? And what's the "little game" you
mentioned?
Erix1, it's good to see you're still around - I hope we'll one day
see a further game from you?
DM, Bizzare is great! I've not yet tried Mario on Tour, I'll do so
when I log off (looking forward to it).
By the way, has everyone seen the brilliant "Hey Hey 16k"? It's at
http://www2.b3ta.com/heyhey16k/
and is well worth seeing! Also, there is a brilliant site at:
http://rinkworks.com/stupid/
detailing supposedly real (though some are very doubtful!) examples
of computer related stupidty, such as:
Tech Support: "Now click the 'connect' button."
Customer: (modem dialing noises) "Hold on, I have another call."
(pause) "Hmmm. No one there. Ok, I'll try this again." (modem dialing
noises) "Hold on, I got another call." (pause) "
and
Email from a customer:
"I've bought a stolen CDD3610 which didn't come with any software or
cables. Could you please send that to me? I presume I do have the
full 12 months warranty?"
and
While visiting a network user's office to install a small program (we
use Windows NT 4.0 here), he asked:
Him: "Can you answer a question?"
Me: "Sure."
Him: "See the recycle bin? Does someone come round and empty it?"
and
Tech Support: "What type of computer do you have?"
Customer: "A white one."
Then again, maybe they are genuine. Probably ex-C64 users ;o)
