...while this is a very cohesive argument, and I agree 100% with it, I must question the assumption (by Mike) that everyone would be knowledgeable of this unwritten rule. I have been playing actively with computers since Atari and commodores were top of the heap. I still remember working for 5 or 6 hours writing a basic program just to play it once or twice then have it be my bedtime and flick the switch deleting it forever.I remember stacker chips and peltier devices pushing the mighty 486 past the output of the new P 90 processor. I know most of the nuances of usenet. Many do not. IMHO when someone offers up a post such as this they should be advised of the proper proocol in a respecful mannner. I am sure Mike and/or Bill were not born with a silicon chip between their teeth. This object is for sale....to the highest bidder. A simple post letting the person know that they should use a differing form of expression would be the logical thing to do. Attacking them as a liar is uncalled for. In todays society it seems that such a slur against a mans charactor is easilly given and easilly accepted. I believe this is a very improper attitude. Of course the annonimity of usenet breeds beer muscles. I, however, believe by my old fqashioned values that the most important thing a man has is his integrity. I am humble enough to admit an error, if one presents it to me that I have erred....but youi damn well better be ready to stand against me if you accuse me of lying...when all I have had is a simple gramatical error. You, Mike, are tired of liars....well I am tired of pompous pricks hiding behind keyboards lashing out from the safety of their comfy dens and defaming men they think they will never meet. You may disagree with my opinion, that is your right. But if I ever err like this original poster did...please come to 7404 Pentecost Rd Cedar Grove NC 27231...and call me a liar to my face...no really please do.

...not at all. My full name posts with every post I make....just because I sign the post with a nickname does not change that fact in the least. As for my phone number....well if I wanted to listen to more gibberish I would have posted that, I, however, have better things to do...I can just as easilly read the immature ramblings. I posted my address so I could be contacted in person. by any who might think to defame me after I exposed their ignorance... ;-)

OK, it's an auction and thanks for all the talk. I know someone in this group will need a locking gas cap after what they say here. ...well I did sell the CJ.

So what? I know people who worked w/mainframes long before there ever was an Atari anything.
