Exactly. I thought the INTERnet was INTERnational. :)

Well, it just "sounds" then, because the way you
express thoughts have no influence on them.

Exactly my point. Everybody should not at least two
languages. And preferably one of them being english.
Not because it's english, but because it's easy and
accessible.

And I wish I could determine what somebody else does
know or doesn't. It would be wonderful for gambling.

Yes, I know about that. The difference between us,
though, is that I've read the story to it's entirety.

I don't see how "car guidance" relates to technology,
but that's another story. :)

You probably know a lot about it.

No one said it would be easy, nor done in a

Why would I call you names? I don't even know you...
Besides the fact that the "sti.com.br" domain is not
unfamiliar to me. You probably contacted me or posted
a message on my forum while I used to run the old
www.msx.com.br website.
I have a very good idea about what's happening in the
brazilian MSX scene as well as the world MSX scene. I
don't even know why I'm talking about this, as I
haven't said one single word about the current MSX
scene at all. Am I writing in the wrong language?

I couldn't even compile fMSX and the only reason why
I wouldn't run BrMSX is because I don't have the time
to port it to UNIX. I've had to make my way with the
MSX emulation present on MESS, that is kept by Sean
Young. It still lacks disk support, but wasn't for
this problem it's just cool.

Thank you. Unfortunatelly time and money have always
been a precious resource for me and I live too far
from Sao Paulo. I live in RS. God knows how I wish to
meet cool MSX people again.
Hey, if I made it to a fair I could even participate!
With the "Smell a real MSX like it was brand new!!" as
my well-packed HotBit really smells like it was just
purchased. :)
