Subject: I'm alive! :)

Hello guys!:)

At first, sorry for the "subscribing spam", I'm a bit lamer ;)) But now I'm on the mailing list... after the 2nd try :)

>Ps: Does anybody know what happend to Pigmy? What does he do now? Is there a
>chance that he will write something to this cool machine again?

Yes, I know ;) He's been working for 8 years. He's first job was programming on PC in C, ASM, CLIPPER, C++. About two years later he left this job, and went to Novotrade to Budapest and programmed for SEGA MEGADRIVE (or what the hell...,
CROWN, am I right? :) Crown worked there before him, but they worked together for 3 months. He left that job too :), so he went back to Zalaegerszeg, he didn't want to program anything:), and he became a "hardwareist" (hm, is it the right word?:). He was assembling and servicing computers... Good job:) He did this for about 4 and a half years. It was wasting time a bit... But he left that job too :), and he's in Budapest, at Uproar (www.uproar.com (x) :) And he's programming in JAVA and on Linux :) Oh yes, and Crown also went to Uproar to work about two months later as he got there...

Ehh... :) So I'm alive and thanx for the question:) It's so good to feel that someone remembers me...

I don't think I will do anything to Plus/4. Maybe I'll convert Linux to Plus/4
;)) There are no sprites in it :)

I loved doing those programs and sometimes loved to play with them,
especially with Revs ;) My favourite game:) (Carmageddon is my favourite on PC... hm... I love car simulators :) But things are changing, I'm not so interested in Plus/4... sorry... Sometimes I remember those good times, what a good processor was in Plus/4, not that shitty Intel... Some good hardware programming... Not Visual Basic :) But there was also a micro$oft thing, called BASIC... something terrible, like any other micro$oft stuffs :) (have you tried PRINT"A"+-5 ?:))

Well, I'm still alive, living, working, and wondering that Plus4 is still alive and what programs are made for it... Incredible :)

Oh yes, and I'm waiting for the Plus/4 part of VICE emulator on Linux :) It would be so cooool... I'm so lazy to copy the new programs to a disk and try them:)

Be good and have fun! :) Bye:)
