I think the letter was in reply to something he said about Demo coders being a complete waste of space and that these people should be writing something useful for the SAM. I think he even mentioned Cookie (although I can't be sure).
I posted a reply as Lord Blackadder (I was young at the time ;o), which said something along the lines that Demo coders experimented with the computers hardware, finding new ways of doing things that were previously thought of as impossible (i.e. parallax scrolling, using the border, etc), and were a good thing. I used as examples people like The Care Bares on the Atari ST, who pushed forward the limitations of the STs hardware. He replied in Format giving me a good slapping! So I can't wait to return the favour ;o) Luke, P.S. I just take comfort from the fact that I'm not a sad man like he is... and the fact that I was right! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 11:09 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Errr i don't remember that... what did he say? actually, i don't think he's ever wronged me... > -----Original Message----- > From: Luke Trevorrow [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 10:57 AM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: RE: Errr > > I've still not forgiven him for slagging off my letter in Format back in > 1994.
