I'm glad somebody finally said it.  Howdy neighbor. Did you fall for it
too?  We should'a listened to everybody that said we were fools.  Now
Jack and his boys are laughin' & drinkin' to their health with my salary!

My friends who program "real" computers really gave me a hard time when I
started with Atari and the ST.  Now everything they warned me about seems
to be coming true.   You see, I used to be a real programmer.  No really.
No foolin'.  Now on my resume I'll have to say "well see I was on an
extended vacation for those three years.  No I never programmed an Atari
before".

How long will the T's keep finding suckers?
