Transcript of the "scroller" in the IPG KF93 demo, circa 1993 http://www.blisstonia.com/eolson/nostalgia It's pretty embarassing, but it's good for a flashback or two. You'll note everything is UPPERCASE; as I recall, I didn't have a lowercase font. -Ed Olson, 2007-1-03 ---- IF THIS IS TOO FAST, ESC MIGHT PAUSE IT... WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT OTHER KEYS DO THINGS TOO. HELLO, WORLD! IMERPIUM GUILD KANSAS FEST 1993 DEMO WELL FOLKS, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ANYTHING MAJOR (OR MINOR) HAS COME OUT FROM US, BUT WE"RE STILL HERE AND WE HAVE BIG PLANS. (STOP LAUGHING!) THIS IS THE MACS HEADROOM DEMO (IN CASE YOU COULDN'T TELL...) tHIS DEMO TOOK MANY HOURS OF CODING AND EVEN MORE CANS OF HIGH-CAFFEINE PEPSI. ANYWAYS, SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT WHO WE ARE. WE ARE *NOT THE INTERNATIONAL POGOSTICK GANG. WE ARE PROGRAMMERS, ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS. WE'RE ALSO AMERICAN! ANYWAYS, HELLO TO EVERYBODY... WE'LL NEVER REMEMBER EVERYONE WE'VE EVER TALKED TO ABOUT ANYTHING, SO WE WON'T EVEN TRY :) SOME OF OUR MEMBERS (ED OLSON (BRYER) AND MIKE SCHEIDNES (NAPIER) CAN'T GO TO KANSAS FEST. SO, HOPE 'YA HAVE FUN... MAYBE WE'LL SHOW UP NEXT YEAR. OK: NORMALLY WE HAVE A 'COOL PERSON' LIST. WELL, WE THOUGHT THAT WE'D BE DIFFERENT AND HAVE A DWEEB LIST. HERE IT IS: MR. FIRMDICK (AKA FIRMWARE) IRSMAN HALB THAT'S THE END OF THE DWEEB LIST... IF WE'VE MISSED ANYONE, LET US KNOW :) I KNOW A LOT OF IRC'ERS OUT THERE ARE TOOL-MONGERS, AND WE HATE TO DISSAPPOINT YOU, BUT.... WE USE NO TOOLS THAT WE DIDN'T WRITE OURSELVES. (NOTICE THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN USE PRODOS...) MOST OF THE COMPRESSION ALGORITHMS ARE SOMEWHAT ORIGINAL TOO. WE USED HUFFMAN DERIVATIVES AND RLE. FAVORITE QUOTES: WAIT A MINUTE... WHY IS THIS WORKING? I REBOOT A LOT 'CAUSE I USE GNO. I WILL DRAW FOR FOOD ANYONE HAVE A CLUE FOR ME? ANYONE REMEMBER WHAT I WAS DOING? WOMEN: YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THEM. END OF STORY.
