>>>>>[ YES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AS OF NOW I AM NO LONGER RELIANT ON THE
HOSPITAL! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-HAH!
HEheheheheheh...

I _FINALLY_ got my deck today. Good god it took long enough.
Sheesh... You've gotta see this thing. It's in the case of my FIRST
computer! My very first! A Tandy LapTop! Heheheheh. It kicks butt. I
can finally work again... Mmmmmm... Code-a-licious..... Heh.


Bet in an out-and-out coding fest I can kick any of your butts.
We're talking REAL coding here. None of this wimp-ass neural input. No
lazy code-munchers to do the MANLY work for you... Heheheh. I
challange ANY ONE OF YOU to a contest. Of course, it'll be on your
honour that you don't use any of those wussy toys (and you better
watch out, I worked in NanaSoft when they were coming up with those
things, so I know how they work... Ever see CodeCreater Pro? That was
mine. I _HEADED_ that design team... Heh)...

Why don't we try it in PAss? Eh? I bet you folks have used
Assembly before. It's been ages since I've coded directly for more
than one processor, but thats not a problem...


Hey! How 'bout this? We write something for a SINGLE processor
machine? How'ZAT sound? Now there was an art... *sigh*

C'mon wimps. Lets go for it.]<<<<<

would you like an EXCELENT programmer with 55+ years of experience?
I'm fairly up to date, so no worries about THAT...]<<<<<

>>>>>[Please, Tobai, your physician and surgeon recommended minimal
activity. So indicates your medical documents.

You may, perhaps, remember myself. We engaged in conversation at Dr.
Jackson's social gathering. Many excellent Matrixrunners frequent this
particular node, but few of them have experience with programming as
ourselves. Remembering such days grows difficult on occasion.
Especially considering our ages are not so different.

Perhaps acceptance of your challenge at a later date, Tobai. Causing you
excitement would be detrimental to your heart.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well Mercury, lets just say I put the challange forward and
leave it at that shall we? If you feel you're up to it, you can take
get back to me.

As to the condition: My heart's better now that it's been in my
entire life. According to the doctors, they'll probably pop it out of
me when I finally kick it and plonk it down into someother poor
fragger's chest... And thanks to a sexy little utility I wrote, I
don't even have to worry about working out: I've had a little bit of
work done on my datajack so that my body can go through all the
trouble of exercising itself while I'm plugged into my deck...

And before any of you get any ideas about taking old papa Tobai's
body for a runabout while he's jacked in, its running on a seperate
system. But you can give it a shot anyway. I've just grabbed a few of
the Sland ICe FAQs, and I think I've got a fairly nasty surpise for
anyone who tries... *evil grin*]<<<<<
