Careful with your email addresses
I've been poking around the nostalgia sites recently popping my email address up hoping to get in touch with old friends from the scene. Instead, old jealousy has found a way of poking it's ugly head out. I can't believe that jealousy like this still exists after, what, 20 years now?

raster boy lives again.... total lack of imagination raster boiiiiiiiiii
Only one person who ever refered to me as that. In fact, he has a web page up right now that refers to me as that. Man, can't believe some people can't let go. Hmm, actually it looks like he's updated it in the last few days. Luckily, Google still has it around. If you're interested, do a google search for +"wanderer" +"the survivors" +"raster boy"

In any event, as I stated, please be careful. It appears that some people out there are still bent out of shape over scene related issues.

I'm very sorry that the scene has weighed so heavily on your life that you're filled with such great levels of animosity towards myself and others as has been displayed above. You should be proud of your own accomplishments without having to be compared to me by yourself or any other person.
I've spoken with others about this phone call you received and I'm pretty sure that I never called you. I think that someone played a prank on you back then pretending to be me on the phone. |

Jealousy angle... check.
Obsession angle.. check.
Animosity angle.. check.

Dude, I said I once looked up to FBR, I didn't say that I drove around with a miniature statue of FBR on my dashboard in praise. There is a huge difference between looking up to a group and being envious of them. As you disappeared into oblivion, I was becoming a well known name. I don't understand how you feel I'm envious at all. I have seen your work and seen my own, and I know mine was much better. This has NEVER been an issue of comparing talent - don't try to make it one now. Don't even try that angle... that would be sad.
Why is it just you then? Out of all the programmers in the USA, why only you? I'll tell you why... you called me up complaining about something, made a comment about my FBR intro and tried subscribing me to mailing lists. You're passive aggressive, and for who knows what reason, you can't stand me (or my programming).

Ahh but you see Bruce I've always been proud of my work. I'm not "comparing" it at all. Your demos cannot compare to mine, your whole argument is falling on its face. I simply said I looked up to FBR when I was learning to code. Once I learned machine code, I stopped looking up to others and started admiring my own work :)
Hell, I used to have a letter from Streetkiller handwritten when he was learning to code and looked up to me. It had little happy faces and such all over it. People idolized me, it goes with the territory. But for some reason, you seem to be envious of something I have done.
I must repeat myself again... this is about you, not me.
You claimed I mailed you. I did not.
I posted many reasons how I could have used an anonymous means and you failed to address that. You fail to address it's not my ISP.
My ONLY issue with you is you are lying. Period.
You have introduced comparing programming and used phrases such as 'envious'. I believe this answers the question of why you faked the mail. It also explains the mailing list attempt.
>I've spoken with others about this phone call you received

>me on the phone.
Nope because I followed that up with an mail to you on the BBS and you replied. I can't recall what you said though, it was years ago. I doubt that you spoke with others, I mean what would you ask them? "Hey did I ever phone Wanderer?", how would they know? Seriously. Did you dictate every phone call you ever made to your friends.
You were a good programmer for the era. Your time was up.
I was a good programmer for my era. My time was up (routines were becoming more complex).
The difference between us is, I let go of those years ages ago. For you to be going on, soon to be, 60 messages of horseshit is insane.
Nobody on here cares about the ONE mail you *claim* to have received. Now go call your theraphist. I will stop posting replies, in an effort to aid you in your getting better.

Hi Wanderer (Mike),
I checked the alumni page at Laurentian University as you suggested, and no "Mike Lalonde" or "Michael Lalonde" was listed. Funny, though, because nearly anyone can be listed at that web page. To prove this point, Rob Hubbard (majoring in SID Composing) was is registered into the alumni search database. Search for him...
Due to all the Mike Lalondes in Sudbury (Canada), we are going to need to see some hard proof that you graduated from that college. Can you help us out here? For example, do you have an alumni card that you could scan in and put on a web page somewhere? The longer you take with this, the more suspicious we'll become.
Oh, and how's the research coming along on my first challenge to you? It is important that for your credibility that you prove those allegations about me if you expect people here to start believing you. Further, you claim to be ignoring me and Death Demon yet you keep responding. A member here even posted how inconsistent that was (much like many of your other claims).
You are a compulsive liar and obsessed with harassing Death Demon and I. Contacting work addresses, home email address, posting fake messages, inventing fake profiles, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if you have been also harassing the Stormbringer these years. Unlike you, he went on to a successful programming career because he had talent and smarts.
The C64 scene has matured since the 80s. Too bad Wandered hasn't caught up.

I think it's kinda funny that in a thread with the name 'Careful with your email addresses' somebody uses his email address as his username ;)
Now, lemme go grab more popcorn, this is kinda nice. |

This is just getting more and more amusing. So, should we form fan-clubs and start cheering for which ever side we believe in now? :)
(To be more serious; the thread is both amusing and scaring to read at the same time. I think most of us has made up our mind on which side we believe though, so I dont think further discussions will sway anyones opinion -- in case that is important to anyone)

I'm only here posting for the free George Foreman grill. I was told that after 50 posts, that sucker was mine.
I was stiffed but I remain optimistic that when we reach 70 posts, I'll be eligible for this...

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I don't think this was ever about 'one to one' communication. I think it was about what the 'public' thought.
Pass me the popcorn. |

This reminds me of the old ESI/UCF war. :) Lets put all this in a C64 war demo. :)
I wasted an hour reading this stuff. I guess I don't have a life. :)
Greets to Wanderer, Death Demon, and Shark!
Latez,

To be honest, I couldn't make a smooth scroller to save my life. I forgot how to make an interrupt. I know its $0314 and $0315 but I forget the location you move to shift the screen to the left, and the values to set to make the interrupt.
I am proud to say I could turn the screen black though.
LDA #$00
STA $d020
STA $d021
In all seriousness, what good would a war demo do? What good would ANY demo do? There are simply not enough people around on the scene to justify making any demos, in my opinion.
