Maybe it's an Atari thing... I don't know. I thought you might find it amusing anyway. -John Article 40 (16 more) in comp.sys.atari.advocacy: From: whitcomb@aurs01.UUCP (Jonathan Whitcomb) Subject: Re: Kill ATARI!!!!

Any left-wingers dare to tell me I'm >wrong? Yeah, it is important to categorize things as much as possible. First we have PEOPLE. Then there are computer using people, which I will designate as GEEKS. Then we have Atari users, who I'll dub FANATIC GEEKS. So now all we need are liberal Atari users (FANATIC COMMIE PINKO GEEKS) and conservative Atari Users (FANATIC RIGHT-WING REACTIONARY GEEKS) to round out the picture. Ah, but why stop there? We can have younger Atari users (PIMPLE FACED GEEKS WHO COULDN'T BUY A DATE BUT WOULDN'T TRY ANYWAY 'CAUSE IT WOULD RIP THEM AWAY FROM THEIR ATARIS), older Atari users (GERITOL SUCKING GEEKS WITH WALKERS), gamers (NOT REALLY A GEEK BUT CAN KICK SOME SERIOUS ALIEN BUG BUTT), artists (PIXEL? WHAT'S A PIXEL?), hackers (GEEKS WHO'S MAIN GOAL IN LIFE IS TO BREAK INTO THE HUSTLER MAGAZINE MAIL ORDER SYSTEM) and telecom junkies (GEEKS WHO WOULD RATHER TYPE THAN TALK). Is there anyone I haven't offended yet? -Jonathan (FANTATIC LEFT LEANING QUASI-MUSICAL HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC GEEK WITH GLASSES) ********************************************************************* *Jonathan Whitcomb, Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, North Carolina* * UUCP: whitcomb%aurfs1.aur.alcatel.com@rockdal.aud.alcatel.com * * GEnie: J.WHITCOMB3 * *********************************************************************
