Re: Stop IBM Pirate LamerZ (there's a word I haven't seen in a while)

I'd thought i'd post here to clear a few things up. First off, seeing as I
had no idea this group existed, i'm surprised to find out that people are still
actually USING apple ]['s for anything else but eprom burners. Imagine my
surprise when, two days ago, my mailbox was flooded by two (2) simultaneous
whiny bitches. One of the authors was kind enough to include Ian's little
"ST0P IBM PIRATE LAMERZ KILLER WAREZ BBS B0ARD" post (but nothing but
deafening silence from the BIFF clone himself).

Secondly, the incoming directory, as was pointed out, was deleted a LONG time
ago. I had no idea anybody gave a rats ass about software that is DECADES old.
(Repeat after me kiddies: YOU MUST CHILL).

The rom file fell through the sieve when I initially audited the incoming dir,
and is now gone. The ideal solution, of course, would be to replace it with
instructions to dump the (super-duper whizbang high-tech proprietary) ROMS
by hand, but I haven't gotten around to it.

The archive was initially started a few years back since there was NO
documentation on transferring images and Randy Spurlock had disappeared from
view for a few years.  I'd thought it would be a hell of a novelty to start up
the site (seeing the apple basic prompt certainly brought back memories) and
there was enough of a demand for supplemental stuff to actually put something
of use there. Odds are, of course, that i'll nuke the frigging archive myself
soon, seeing as i'm finally escaping from this god-forsaken hellhole in a
few weeks. If anybody actually here still wants the stuff (there IS a new
version that Randy just cranked out) ask Todd to copy it over before it goes.

Finally, i'd like to ask Apple to blow me (they haven't made anything useful
since the apple ]['s) and to say hi to Derwoods's (uh, Darren's) Other Half
and House Security Risk (you know who you are ;-).

Oh, and stop bugging Heather (root@cco). She's asked all respondents to send
their flames here (I promise i'll listen). She's got enough to worry about
without a gaggle of self-important newbie net-police taking the high moral
ground at her.

Peace,
Nye
