Fun with ModZap! :>

[dionisio@infinet.com ()]

Went into the binaries and got a copy of Axel F. Plopped it into ModZap 
with the "quadrascope" active. Then the computer sorta crashed. (Not too 
surprising.) But the MOD played on! The sound was static-filled, and 
occasionally augmented by <beep!>s. (Which was hilarious. "da da da-t-da 
da <beep!> da da da-t-da <beep!> da da da da-t-da <beep!> <beep!>") And 
what had me rolling was the message being flashed on my screen: "detected 
trashed memory -- software bug or (less likely) bad RAM   error $0308"

<Looking shocked> NO! Really?!?

If that gets fixed, could we have the "bug" as a deliberatly invokable 
feature? I loved the ways the error message was printed and erased - 
which happened for each and every note played, but often sans the 
<beep!>. It played the MOD all the way through before finally becoming 
one with a black hole. (I suppose I'm just easily amused... )
