This is the second note you've recently posted bragging about stealing oops... basically... This is the second note you've recently posted bragging about stealing software. Be advised that this is not a "cracker" or pirate bulletin board, but rather an Apple II information newsgroup. THERE!! First... you must be pretty bored to sit and put article whatever (where DO those numbers come from!?) in that little ">" construct! Unless there's an automatic way to do that... Second... I don't brag. Do you think I would still be bragging after two years of modem world activity. Sheesh! To me, it was only a casual reference. Also... a beta copy is not for sale anyway!!! Have you ever heard of a "pirated" beta copy? HA! Mark

In this and several other posts that have arrived at this uucp site, it is obvious that most readers are understandably concerned about the subject of MCL9337@TAMVENUS's messages. Perhaps a BITNET user should accumulate these posts and forward them to the System Administrato of TAMVENUS. I suspect that MCL9337 (Mark) has no idea (or concern) that his messages reflect negatively on his host organization. I am sure the SysAdmin does and will take appropriate action. (I would send the message from here, but uucp to bitnet communications often don't work.) --- Larry Colton {ihnp4,pyramid,qantel}!ptsfa!pbhyd!lc Pacific * Bell San Diego

It seems to me that the appropriate action concerning the pirating issue has all ready been taken, it is clear that this group will not support messages involving pirating and I would be surprised to see another one. It makes for interesting conversation but could get blown out of proportion.
scott@geowhiz.UUCP (Scott Kempf) (12/19/87)
I would like to say that I was not offended by the mention of
pirating. I was offended by mark's article to someone who was. mark
appeared very rude and inconsiderate of others.
His: "Off the bandwagon, everyone...", was just the kind of
apology I expected. Oh, well, I suppose I should learn to ignore such things.
Scott
P.S. Maybe we should vote on starting comp.sys.apple.flames? :-)

Give me a break...It really only depends on how the program is written. The machine is fast enough for ANY arcade game...you may quote me. I am now using a se/30 with 4 megs and 80meg drive...Now a SE seems like a DOG, but I didnt know that till I had the se/30. I dont cry and moan when I use my old 512k 400k drives Mac, nor my old apple II+. Even a Mac II seems to be a bit sluggish. My 286 clone is a real dog, until I get on an original PC. Go with the flow. Maybe a Cray II would suit your needs? Every computer has its good points, and its bad points. When you start to get at the point where its not any fun...Its time to quit. Sure its fun to get pissed off and blow a little steam, but I can think of a better way to spend my time listening to everyone bitch about the GS. Scott Hutinger mser001@ecncdc.bitnet

Let's get back to the fun of computing!
