RUN - TDFNPDFIV[[^^ DF#%#'PDF - HELLO THERE, PERSONS OF THE COMPUNETTING VARIETY, TIS ME, SPONG, WITH A LITTLE, NOT TOO EXCITING DEMO WHICH I HOPE WILL KEEP YOU AMUSED FOR SOME TIME. I KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT I WILL MEET SOMEONE ON PARTYLINE WHO WILL SAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF 'YOU CHEATED, YOU USED CREATE WITH GARFIELD!' WELL I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WITH CREATE WITH GARFIELD? I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS FOR MAKING PICTURES! SILLY ME! ANYWAY, LESS OF THE SARCASM. BEFORE I FORGET, I MUST CREDIT ROB (BOP-BE-DOOB-BOP-BOP) HUBBARD FOR THE MUSIC (THE SPEED OF WHICH, INCIDENTALLY MAY BE ALTERED BY A JOYSTICK IN PORT#2!) THE DREADED HELLOS ARE TO J.R. (WHO SHOULD BE ON THE NET BY THE TIME I UPLOAD THIS), THE KERNAL, JAYBIRD (TA FOR GIVING ME A MENTION), OH AND HELLO TO TAK AS WELL, FOUNDER OF THE N.W.C.U.G (OR SOMETHING). A LARGE NUMBER OF EXPLETIVES TO - STIG, FOR BEING A THEIVING B***ARD, GAFFER, FOR NOT TELLING ME HOW TO GET 16 SPRITES ON A LINE AFTER PROMISING TO DO SO (I FOUND OUT OF SOMEBODY ELSE, SO THANK YOU WHOEVER YOU WERE (I HAVE A BAD MEMORY)). THANKS MUST ALSO GO TO ONE OF MY CIA CHIPS FOR NOT BLOWING WHEN I FORGOT TO TURN THE POWER OFF BEFORE SOLDERING ONE OF THE KEYBOARD LINES, WITHOUT THIS WONDERFUL AND BRAVE PIECE OF SILICON I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TYPE THIS LONG (AND NOT ENTIRELY ENTERTAINING) MESSAGE! I HOPE YOU LIKE THE PICCY, WHILE IT'S NOT A MASTERPIECE, IT WENT DOWN VERY WELL AROUND HERE. OK, SO THE BACKGROUND AND A FEW CHARACTERS ARE FROM CREATE WITH GARFIELD, I MADE A LOT OF ALTERATIONS MYSELF. IF YOU ARE VERY SILLY OR TERMINALLY INSANE, YOU COULD ALWAYS MAILBOX ME (DJT2) IF YOU'VE GOT BORED WITH TRYING TO UNDO THE BUCKLES ON YOUR STRAIGHT JACKET. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A STRAIGHT JACKET, MBX ME AND I'LL HAVE IT SORTED OUT RIGHT AWAY. JUST OUT OF INTEREST, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY NOBODY ON COMPUNET CAN SPELL? IT SEEMS TO HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE RELEVANT AREAS OF THE BRAIN. MYSELF INCLUDED, EVER SINCE I FIRST LOGGED ON MY ABILITY TO SPELL HAS ALMOST DISAPPEARED, IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH VDU RADIATION! ANSURS ON A MALEBOCS TO DJT2 OK? I HOPE YOU LIKE THE LITTLE SCROLLY BIT! I'VE SERIOUSLY MUCKED ABOUT WITH IT SINCE MY LAST UPLOAD, IT NOW LEAVES ABOUT 10K MORE FREE RAM AND CUTS ABOUT 2K OF THE PROGRAM LENGTH. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T MAKE TOAST, BUT I'M WORKING ON IT! ANYWAY, BYE FOR NOW, SPONG! - - - -
