Message for 4agentE
Thanks a lot for derailing the thread. I was just writing you a message that you should start behaving. You can be as autistic you want (your own words) but please stop acting like this is a matter of life and death.
I would have been happy to continue the discussion about the actual real timelines of things instead of that bullshit.
Also CountZero, how about a warning first? |

Was CompuNet popular outside of the UK? |

How does that matter?
It was popular enough for me to get c-net stuff on tapes in germany, 85ish. with zero contact to "swappers" or "scene". |

Regarding demoscene, it certainly had a much bigger impact than any other early network :) |

Look Mankeli, I’m sure you can read (although one would be pardoned to wonder judging by you misspelling my handle) as can everybody else around here. If you re-read your thread in chronological order, it’s dead obvious that the one who derailed your subject was Krill. He turned your subject into his crusade against the premise that demoscene emanated from crackerscene. Which was NOT your subject as I recall. He turned your thread into continuation of his personal crusade he leads in other places. I was responding to him. Yet, you’re for some bizarre reason calling me out. Go over it all again if you have trouble remembering, see where it got sidetracked. Apology is welcome. |

Maybe we can discuss about thread post timelines on another thread? Let's not here. I thought the crackerscene / demoscene origin discussion was topical atleast, atleast until it was just arguing. |

I was totally oblivious of CompuNet at the time. That’s the reason swapping was my only source of demos along with the cracks. When I heard about CompuNet later it seemed like science fiction to me. At the time I thought the only use for modems was to dial US warez BBSs using stolen calling card numbers. So if indeed there was a whole demoscene outside mailswapping scene active on CompuNet, I never knew.
P.S. Mankeli, I wish you named this thread differently. |

Quoting chatGPZIt was popular enough for me to get c-net stuff on tapes in germany, 85ish. with zero contact to "swappers" or "scene". Interesting! How did you get those tapes? Schoolyard? Kiosk? "Public domain" mailorder? =) |
