However, I'm not really certain the number of FS/WTB/etc messages are really that big of a deal. I log on here to read about once a day and get about 30= -50 messages. Not really that tough to weed through. Especially compared to the only other major Usenet group I read, which gives me 100-300 messages a day. 30-50 is kinda relaxing after that! -JackLF #! rnews 971 Message-ID: <31FB247B.7569@dclink.com> Date: Sun, 28 Jul 1996 01:27:39 -0700 From: Xkomunnik8 Organization: Black Wednesday Productions X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: SEQ files.

The Two= =20 ... yeah, Tramiel really screwed up, but I don't see the point of your post. but I'm reminded of "Death of an Apple" and "To Kill A Commodore" demos. The most excellent work I've ever seen in Atari BASIC. Well there might be something I saw years ago but forgot, but for me these were great. "Death of an Apple" had some great sound, too. Probably the only time the Atari ever sounded like a real guitar. More colorful too. but "To KJill A Commodore" didn't need a character set file, and it had a lot more gags in it. There was also an ATASCII movie based on an Atari castle and a Commodore castle at war. I'm not sure whether the Commodore 64 people ever did anything like that. The only Commodore demos I've ever seen were intro-style, except for the occasional porno animation and one entry in the 4K demo contest called "stickboy", C64 demos seldom tell a story. I do remember a few though. -- N i c k B e n s e m a KUPD Red Card #710563 ,-= ._|\ " " " " " " " " " " " """""""""""""""""""" ''''''''''''''''''''' / = \ Ain't talkin' 'bout love, my love is rotten to the core.
