	in this community, i'm looked at as a complete idiot who
	doesn't know anything other than how to complain and act like
	a real asshole teenager who "thinks he knows it all," but in
	the PC & SNES world, i'm looked up to as a friend and as some-
	one who's willing to help with just aout anything, ranging from
	programming to personal problems. Attitude, it's all in the
	attitude.

: : your name on it.  You are one of the people who makes my GS what it is, 
: : yet you continuously put the machine down.  Why?  Don't you like it 

	Because this machine has a *TON* of limitations *I'M* sick
	of. It's a personal problem; it's Yoshi vs. his GS. Guess
	what though: I'll win, and i'll always win. I control the
	computer, though during debugging sessions it seems quite
	the opposite.

	I could send you my 'for.the.iigs.world' file, and then you'd
	probably stop asking me why I put the machine down: ever
	since I found out that full 256-colour GIFs couldn't really
	be viewed on the GS as they were "supposed to be", I sort-of
	gave up on the machine. This happened, oh, probably 4 or 5
	years ago (i've had my GS for, well, January will make 8 years).
	I've stuck with it this long, and now it's time I move on to
	bigger and better things. Though, I can happily say that by
	leaving the IIGS community, I won't have to deal with the prob-
	lems of the machine itself, nor it's "followers." I'm sorry
	folks, but in your community, it doesn't seem like *ANYTHING*
	makes you guys fuckin' happy. I wish I knew what did.

: : anymore?  If not, then get out.  Stay out of our fun little fantasy 
: : world, and go someplace else... although I'd hate to see you leave.  I 
: : don't know what else to say, because you confuse me so much.

	Sorry if i'm so confusing, but being confused is part of my
	personality. I know the how the human mind works pretty well,
	so confusing another human isn't too difficult (grin). For
	that matter, confusing myself isn't very difficult either.

: You forget Yoshi is a pessimist.  He dosen't have hope in to many things, 

	This is a 100% correct statement. I am a pessimist, and I do
	not have hope in many things, the IIGS being one of them.
	Though, the counter-balance is that I don't have hope for the
	Macintosh nor the PC, so it's all fair.

: or at least that's what he claims.  Yet when he does software it comes 
: out pretty good.  Maybe it's time for him to change his personality?

	I will not conform (I sense Jawaid will comment) to a persona
	change because someone else thinks so. It may work that way
	for most people, but like i've said in the past, i'm not like
	most people.

	My software is pretty shitty, to tell you the truth. See, the
	only piece of software i've written which I feel GOOD about is
	QuickPort II, and even then I get flamed for "not even being
	original enough to come up with my own ideas." Quite sad. Most
	things i've written haven't been released; point here being
	i'm AFRAID to release them because i'm scared of getting the
	Nasty Scary Evil EMail saying how much someone DISLIKES my
	software. Hell, I was starting the process of writing a Game-
	Boy (Z80) emulator for the IIGS, but since i've gotten no
	real moral support (not financial, mind you. I don't want $ for
	my software; just nice comments) in the past for *ANYTHING* i've
	written, therefore I don't see the benefits. I can just imagine
	posting it to cba2, going to bed, then waking up in the morning
	to find my mailbox flooded with "This thing SUCKS!"

	I'm not perfect, nor is my software. I've never been one to go
	around bragging about just how "awesome" my software is. It's
	not awesome; it's terrible, if anything. I know that, as does the
	rest of the IIGS community. (shrugs) There's nothing I can do
	about that. It's my problem, once again.

	P.S. - Sorry to tell ya, Matt, but I AM leaving the IIGS world.
	       I don't think this'll "sadden" you one bit though; if it
	       does, you'll get over it. You're not losing much, trust
	       me on that one. I'm sure you'll learn to program and
	       write cool stuff. I'm not anything important; i'm a no
	       one, so replacing me isn't too difficult.
