Now for the worst part of this, potential nightmere.
The famous C64(Commodore,TI,Timex,Sinclair,Atari-64) 
or just C-64 (64 Kb) can be emulated by an IBM clone with a DOS
program, I'll get the D/L for all of you next time I hit alt.bin.c64s 

Also available, are 100's of old C64 games to go with the C64
emulator. The games are as great as they were twenty years ago.
Thats the problem, we continue to become more sophisticated in our
games, with Megabytes strewn about here and there. 
Now a days Those old games are just old games.

	 If you can fool a IBM into thinking its a C64 its going to
develop problems later on in life with co-dependency, low self esteem,
and probably start hanging with a bad bunch of chips. Get a computer
starded on drugs and they will burn up. 
I rue the day a Packard-Bell shows up alone in Warez with your Word
processing software.
Imagine being blackmailed by a Toshiba, that is threatening to Upload
your financial records to some, silicon babe, at Microsoft, for a few
measly bytes of RAM.
 Sad Sad Sad to see the seedier side of silicon life. 
Then we have increased social unrest, and created another minority
group to kick around(Hey! not to bad an idea). I was getting tired of
picking on Russians, and Germans, and Africans. (maybe not the krauts,
I still give them a hard time). There is nothing more heart rending
than a computer family with young ones out on the streets, stealing,
Begging, Pan handling.
 We have all seen it before, don't pretend.
I get rid of them by acting like I can't tell a CPU from a tower.
or forget their names and call a 486 a 286.
That hurts the little Silicon dirt balls. I mean, what the hell, its
only a piece of quartz a common rock. Right, well am I right.

Shit, then the Welfare crap starts, riots, chips against magnetic
discs.
Magneto-Optical's give me a pain they think they are so superior, then
in a short 18 months they are on the bottom of the heap, Bragging on
the good old days, last year.

Even a Dip switch won't feel safe.
The most hypocritical is that you thought it was a good idea.
Do you really care when  you destroy the life of these little
creatures. Just so you can get your jollies off playing PONG.   

		     'nuff said with that there 

Maybe too much said,  but I hate these little crystaline cretins. We
should take them all out, to the woods, hook wires up to them and turn
on the juice. 
		"Thats my solution
				to the silicon wafer revolution"

I don't want a family of those creaps living next to me.
Later
