Re: Dr. Tom and his Amazing Technicolor Web Page
SB - you are nit-picking and you are not reading my personal outline page
correctly. I got the IIc (not in 1978), that's when I arrived in San
Francisco and retired on disability. I got the IIc in January of 1984,
played around with it hacking and pirating software, YES, I did say
pirating software. That's common past history and knowledge concerning my
past activities. Everybody knows it and everybody that has any name today
in the Apple II world had done it. It's still done with the image files
for the Apple II emulators, to this day. Patches, deprotection schemes
etc. they are still everywhere. I've learned from my mistakes just like
Dr. Death (BurgerBill), Olivier Goguel and so many others who cracked
commercial wares in the past have learned, it's a bad thing to have done.
I'm ashamed of having done it. I do not currently do any such thing!
I progressed on to the Apple IIe in 1985, then on to the IIGS in 1986.
I've hacked and pirated on them all. I don't do that any more - period!
Concerning my age: I'm 49. Not 90. I will be 50 on 10/23/95.
Concerning my mental skills and rating: my IQ is 167. I'll leave it up
to you and the others on csa2 to classify that. I don't care or concern
myself with what you think of my educational values, what fields of
research and study I deside to deal with, are my own personal decisions.
What I learn, reason or research, the methods I use, the guide-lines I
use, have no relation on, with or to any western standards. I've never
placed that much value in western standards anyway. they are all just too
narrow minded and set in the theological/achademic (yes - I said
ACHADEMIC) ruts of so much other stuff, that is lost and forgotten or
overlooked and ignored.
My (5) Ph.D.'s are my business. not yours. If everybody continues to
nit-pick on the issue of my using the Ph.D. behind my name, I'll just drop
it from any additional efforts. I'll also drop my nick name of Dr. Tom.
Would that make everybody happy! I'll just be plain old Charles Turley.
(I've earned these doctrates - I'm entitled to them - I did not buy them.
That's all you or anybody else need to know. If you want to waste your
time researching where they came from - go for it) I'm not about to give
you any more than you've already gotten concerning my personal education
or life. Some issues are more fun - if you have to work on them to get to
the truth roots of their validity! So do your best and work on it - if
you so desire. Waste your time - not mine! Whenever you come up with
anything of concrete merit, I'll be happy to address them with you via
email.
The knowledge I've amassed during my life, covers many fields and many
facts. Lot's of it would curl your hair (if you have any), when you were
made aware of it. Few people can comprehend such facts and knowledge,
much less accept it as valid and real. Thus, I keep it to myself, as do
so many 1000's of others around the world that are aware of such things.
I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not looking for fame. I'm not
interested in making more money. I've got all I need. My life is happy.
I enjoy what I'm doing. And, if you don't, then ignore it! That's all
I've got to say. This should give all of you a lot to snap and chew on
for the rest of the week. i've got no more time to spend with
counter-post to your inquisitional efforts. Sorry, got to go - things to
do, places to visit, bill's to pay and a Web page to update. Bye bye and
God Bless!
Dr. Tom
PS: My spelling and grammar is an entire other issue. Nit-pick on it all
you want. Again, I don't care. It's horrible - I'll admit it - so there!
If you judge people by their spelling and grammar talents - then I'm a
moron!
