hello... this is secundus of pu-239... jolly pacman-sound, isnt it? i had not enough raster time to make any real music... actually i had no time either. i began to make this demo in 2nd april and had to complete it before the copy party held in lahti to show that vic-20 isnt so bad... if you know any vic-20 owners let me know! once i swapped stuff with one but then he disappeared and i never heard anything about him. then i wrote to mikropittu and bought quite a lot of stuff... speech synthesisers, memory extenders, a number of games, games, games... and now i have a feeling to be the only vic owner in the world! by the way, lovejoy, where is your demo? once you made one but was it a real demo...? albert has made several ones and so has falstaff, even i have made as many as two demos, but you...? it is a pity that falstaff is not here in lahti! btw, his name was recently 7373 for his birthday 7.3.1973 but then he changed it. that was a pity... his current name means next to nothing. and i was born precisely one year earlier. however, my name has never been 7372 though it could have been. what could i write now... the electronic mailbox situation in tampere is really weak. previously there was tamfido bbs with all kinds of interesting discussion but then it suddenly fell in june 1988. today, there are half a million tiny boxes with almost no discussion, but with a huge amount of silly stuff for amiga and wc. none of the modemists in tampere seems to be interested in discussing different things. however, there has been something better in lempaeaelaen fido but it is run by lempaeaelaen tietokonekerho and can be supposed to fall soon. well i am not sure... but lempaeaelaen tietokonekerho is something s t u p i d . having been founded, the box had serious modem difficulties. then everyone in lempaeaelaen tietokonekerho had his own idea how to develop the box and there seemed to be no unity. btw... have you noticed there is a bug in this demo...! turn the screen to the very left so you can see the bug in the right upper corner. i simply couldnt avoid it. but it does not matter when the text below is in the centre of the screen. i also tried to make this scroll bounce, with no success. actually it can be made bounce but then the whole screen begins bouncing. the video chip does not read the vertical centering register more often than once a screen. but that goes only for the vertical centering - this scroll is made by changing the horizontal centering. i have a good tip. look out for lightnings!! once a lightning broke my vic, 1541, and printer. i was lucky to be able to repair the vic and 1541 but with the printer i could not do anything. well i think i have written pure shit... now i should write the greetings. of course, greetings to the whole pu-239... albert, lovejoy and falstaff - however, i dont greet myself though i belong to pu-239... then i have no more hackers to greet... hey!! i almost forgot! call my bbs run by vic. 300 or 1200 baud, 8n1, open 21-07, 358-31-751950.
