Re: What a Jerk

You guys just kill me.

I go away for about a year, and you dopes are still fighting amonst
yourselves.

Given the total lack of intelligence and tact shown by QC, it *almost* makes
me yearn for the bible-thumping days of Nathan Mates!

Something amazing happened to me about 4 months ago. I sold every piece of
Apple II hardware that was worth anything on Ebay and made a damn fine
profit. Went to vegas with the profits and proceeded to dine at the finest
restaurants and enjoy the plethora of attractions in the city of sin.

Now on to the amazing part. Like some of you, I used to think that the only
thing binding the world together was the existence of my apple IIgs. Think
of my (former) IIgs as the Wikkit Gate.

But then I got a wild hair up my a$$ and decided to sell it all for
scrap-silicon to whomever and the universe didn't collapse. What a concept.

I learned that all the stress, anxiety and frustration of dealing with dopes
like QC, NM and JK were all gone. The only universe that collapsed was the
one surrounding my overly-inflated sense of Apple II importance.

Folks, enjoy the Apple II. Don't fight over it. Believe me, it isn't worth
it.
