Hi there,

I hope not...

Yeah sure, like your are so much older, wiser, maturer... :)

Sure can!
:) Didn't know that one.
:) Same...
> Do you know more about this design? ...I'd be interested a bit.
Well, check Hendrik Lipka's homepage... (The guy who made the 1 MB extension.) He hooked up a 2031 drive to his plus/4.

This time I say: Young people!
> >> I bought a CBM PET 4016 and a CBM 8250 drive
Was it a 8250 or 8050? The 8250 was upgraded later on, the lastest version was called 8250 LP. Have you ever heard of the C(BM) 900? It was supposed to have a UNIX compatible OS called COHERENT?

Well, there has been... Though, Elder quit spreading for money pretty soon... A lot of lame posing had been going on back then. More about that in a different posting!

Yeah, because CONVERTED games violate the Copyright! So, it was kinda illegal to spread converted games (I guess no one really cared since the plus/4 wasn't popular!)

I remember that ELDER was visited by some green dudes (and they were not form outer space :) )... They confiscated his eqipment (I don't know details) and he got in trouble because of converted games!

I don't have the game... :(

Is that why she's your EX? More excited about old computers than about girls?
Boy, your heading for the wrong direction :)

Well, actually I think she doesn't give a fuck about my exams... Plus,
she doesn't give a fuck about me :( I'll survive...
> Bye, ...I guess I'll also reply to your other letter.
I finished answering your other one already... Still, plenty to say!
See ya,
Christian
