Poor Carl! Always has all the troubles imaginable with his computer
and everything that is connected with it!
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!
I don't know why it happens, but I really keep silence for two or
three weeks probably, 'cause I don't have time right now. I'm very
sorry, hope, we will continue our e'mail dialogues when I'll have a
bit more free time. Soon there will be exams in the univercity, so I
have to prepare well for them and to finish all the work. So, don't
worry. What about UMM: This project is in progress. I work on it.
There is no need for suicidal disappoints ) Plus, if I won't release
it till Christmas, I will release it anyway. And, all in all, you
ofcouse want to play a REALLY good game, so I'm trying to make it
so... )))
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? Good question ) 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
You can find a link to in on Andrew Broad's site. Nice song
but "generation, who can code..." made me angry )))
and is well worth seeing! Also, there is a brilliant site at:
http://rinkworks.com/stupid/ Never heard about it, but looks very nice!! I like it. )) 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)
Heh )))
