THE BIRDS ARE SINGING, THE CLOUDS ARE WHITE(-ING), THE SUN IS SHINING..        -WHAT!   DID I WRITE -""THE SUN IS SHINING!""?     YES, I SURE DID!        THAT MEANS..         AAAAGH!        MUU!     ARF-ARF!             (I HATE LIGHT - ESPECIALLY SUNLIGHT!    IT MAY KILL ME!)        (WELLKNOWN QUOTATION FROM SPIELBERGS "GREMLINS".)                WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY  -  I HATE BRIGHT LIGHT!       IT MAKES HORRIBLE LIGHT-REFLEXES ON MY MONITOR!     (COMMODORE SAID THE 1084 MONITOR WAS "REFLEX-SAFE".    -THEY ARE TELLING TALES...          (YES, I CAN STAND CRITICS, COME ON!)                                                   AND NOW A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOU WHO CALLS ME (OFTEN?)..       IF I"M NOT "ZU HAUSE", "HEMMA", (AT HOME), AND IF SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY ANSWERS, THEN TELL THEM YOUR NAME   (FOR GOD"S SAKE!!!)!    IT"S NOT FUNNY COMING HOME AND BEING TOLD THAT TWENTY NO-NAMERS (LAMERS) HAS CALLED!         IT"S THE SAME RULE FOR MY AUTO-TELEPHONE-ANSWERER!              ENOUGH TALKING ABOUT NO-NAMERS...    OH, THERE IS ALSO ONE THING THAT I HATE MORE THAN NO-NAMERS..   -QUESTION-LAMERS!!        HERE FOLLOWS AN IMFORMATIVE EXAMPLE, PICKED UP FROM REAL LIFE..          RING!       (I ALWAYS ANSWER THE PHONE, TELLING MY REAL NAME, BUT HERE IT"S CENCURED!)    -HELLO, IT"S KAKTUS!          -HELLO, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CALCULATE THE SCREEN-WIDTH IN BYTES?     -WHAT???   (WHAT THE HE-- DOES HE MEAN?)      -DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CALCULATE THE SCREEN-WIDTH IN BYTES?      (THE SAME QUESTION AS BEFORE, HE MUST HAVE BEEN PRACTISING THAT PHRASE IN FRONT OF A MIRROR!)          -WELL, IF YOU HAVE GOT A PICTURE WITH A KNOWN WIDTH, DIVIDE THE WIDTH WITH EIGHT!  (I"M TOO OFTEN FRIENDLY!)         - HMM   (SILENCE)    AHA!  320/8!!       -POSSIBLE (I SAID)...  (ALL OF A SUDDEN, I BECAME TIRED)       -GOODBYE THEN! (HE SAID)         -HEY WAIT, DO I KNOW YOU??        -NO...       KLICK!                 THAT WAS A TRUE STORY, HAPPENED YESTERDAY!      DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?         IT"S HARD!                            NOW LET"S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTING FOR EVERYBODY.. (POSSIBLY?)               A GUY LIVING IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD HAS BOUGHT A MODEM (I SADLY HAVEN"T GOT ONE MYSELF.), AND HE LIKES IT SO MUCH THAT HE HAS OPENED A BBS.   A VERY SMALL ONE...      IF EVERYTHING RUNS PROPERLY, HE WILL BUY AN 80MB HARD-DISK, AND THEN I"LL PUT ALL HOT MAHONEY AND KAKTUS STUFF INTO IT!    I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PUT SOURCE-CODES, HINTS, USEFUL SMALL PRGS (OF COURSE MADE BY M AND K!) AND A LOT OF OTHER NICE THINGS, BUT I DON"T THINK IT"S POSSIBLE, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MODEM-LAMER RATE! (SORRY I NEED TO TELL THIS, UFO)          ANYWAY, IF YOU WANT DEMOS, NON-RELEASED DEMOS, PREVIEWS AND OTHER THINGS BY MAHONEY AND KAKTUS, IT"S OK TO CALL!        BUT REMEMBER!  -  MAHONEY AND KAKTUS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BBS!          THE NUMBER IS (+46 (SWEDEN)) (0)42/262106        AND!  THE BASE WILL NOT BE RUNNING WITH EITHER HARD-DISK NOR OUR DEMOS BEFORE JULY, 1989!                                               ---                         NOW IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE MADE A LOT OF SPELLINGERRORS!   I"M SURE I HAVE, AND I"M ALSO SURE I"M TIRED!       YOU HAVE TO EXCUSE ME!   PLEASE!                                        ------------                                     .............................                           ,",",",",",",",",",",                                                                            NJOP!             QUITE LONG PAUSE..      YOU KNOW WHAT??    I"VE BEEN AT SCHOOL TODAY!
