- REDLiTE speaks a load of old cods wallop(?!)...
- (Version V2 The Fried Bits Edit)
-
- * Whats the Fried Bits Edit I here you cry!?!, well as this doc is of the
- * boring kind (Stop reading now...), I thought that as I had a bit of time
- * on my hands at the party in Bremen I would spell check(?), and add some
- * extra borring lines of twaty chat to what I already had.... so if you
- * have a life leave this doc file now!!......
-
-
- Hum what should I speak about now, there are to many subjects that have been
- covered, so many times in so many disks mags (ie: The Falcon debate, The
- scene dying Etc etc...) arr-ha I have an idea what about a round of what
- happened at the 7th International Computer Show in London.
-
- Well the date now jumps back to the 19th of February 1993, the scene is
- My bedroom...
-
- Its was getting late and Drus and me were trying to get our 'Believe
- the Music' demo finished for release at the show the next day, anyway
- time went by, actually alot of time when by, but the demo was finally
- was finished at some early hour of the morning.... So Drus and me
- grabbed a few hours of sleep as we were getting picked up at 8.30am by
- Dave a STe owning nobody, anyway we woke, washed, ate and dived into
- Dave's mark II Escort (In true Essex boy racer style).
-
- The train station was about 9 miles away, so away we went with a large
- amount of pace. All went well until we arrived at the station Car park,
- where Dave decided he was going to show off his driving talents by Hand
- braking the car into a Parking space. Well lets just say we did not make
- it. The car turned 90 degrees and then we hit a massive earth bank (Nice
- one Dave!), So we all jumped out and pulled the car out of the bank!, we
- then parked and went to get the train, which was dew at 9.20am.
-
- At the platform we meet Lister, a good friend and we all waited for the
- train, and we waited... and we waited... the time had now reached
- 9.30am, so I asked a ticket officer when the train was dew..... he
- replied...
-
- 'Oh sorry Mate the 9.20 train was cancelled the next is at 9.50am...'
-
- Was anything meant to go right for us... As I was meant to be meeting
- Powa + Fracta of the Mega four at Wembley Park Station at 11.00am.
-
- Anyway we all got the Train, and as the last train was cancelled this
- one was packed... we had to stand for one and a bit hours on the
- train... Which was very boring not to mension hard on the old legs....
- Anyway We arrived at Liverpool Street Station at about 10.55 and I had
- to meet TM4 at 11.00, I had no chance, Well the other three lads where
- starving so they left me and when to Casey Jones for breakfast so I when
- on alone.
-
- When I finally arrived at the Station (after spending some time looking
- for the right platform at liverpool station) there was no sign of Powa
- and Fracta anywhere... So I rushed off down to the Show to see if I
- could meet them there.
-
- The first place I looked was in the Bar (?!), there was no sign of them
- there, there were only a couple of old Automation members drinking there
- pints in skin tight t-shirst that looked 3 years old!. I moved on
- through the crowds, then as I was walking round I noticed a face I
- recognised.... Yes I knew that look at the perpetual Dawn demo earlier
- that morning would pay off, as I had noticed Tat of Chaos, and with him
- was Fracta of TM4.... So I approached them and we got chatting, it
- turns out that Powa was at the station and still was there (opps),
- Well we moved around the packed show, looking at various bits and bobs
- and waited for Powa and Drus to show up..
-
- Combo had a large stand dedicated to the FALCON, Which is were Powa
- finally meet up with us, but I still had not seen Drus and my other
- mates. Anyway we spent some time at the combo stand looking at the
- falcon, but as the stand was crowded the only Falcon we could see was
- running Windows 3.1.
-
- As we slowly moved around the show, I noticed Drus walking towards us
- and finally we were back together.... well this text must be boring you
- senseless so far!!??.
-
- Ok, well the show was a bit boring, but the FALCON dominated the show
- completely, I did not see one A1200 running.... The only A1200 I did see
- had been bought by some twat... and he then proceeded to place the box
- in a pool of sick in the restuarant... Just shows the average
- intelligence of an Amiga owner... Ok I should really talk about the
- Falcon for a bit. Well in a word the machine is Amazing. At the show
- they were showing off a demo of the falcon emulating MODE7 off the Super
- Nes.... This was just a little bit nice(!!), This machine is going to
- beat the A1200 to with in a inch of its life (As my dad would say!?),
- and if all the people who say they are going to by a falcon, do then
- this machine is going to have a great future.
-
- Ok on with the show type bit......
-
- Right, by this time we had tried to show off are new demo, but with no
- luck as all the ST's were using Mono monitors. So we headed to the ST
- user stand, were we meet a very nice man, who let us use his 4Meg mega
- STe.... thing is STOS dont work on 4Meg STs.... But anyway the new Chaos
- demo was but on and every one was most impressed... (Slurp slurp!!), We
- also managed to off load two copies of our demo... one to ST user for
- review and one to a small crew Called M.L.P who where watching at the
- stand.
-
- You can not still be reading this!?, you must be a social reject with no
- life!?..... go away and live?!.....
-
- Well to cut along (boring) story short, also at the St user stand, Powa
- noticed Griff of E.I, So we all moved over to the Falcon stand, where
- Griff should us all his Falcon protracker replay, which was turned off
- as soon as it went on by some big fat German... But what I saw of it was
- very nice. He also tried to get our demo running on the falcon, but with
- no luck?.
-
- We stayed at the show until closing time, which was a good move as most
- people had gone home which ment we could look around a bit more...
- anyway we left at about 6.30pm and all got a tube back to liverpool
- Street station where we all went for some grub at casey jones....
-
- God is it worth continuing!... Well the show was ok and we meet a load
- of bods.... But we had been told that a load more people were going....?
- were they?. ok just before I go and spent 3 hours spell checking this
- doc, oh and by the way if there are any mistakes its not my fault, I
- dont know whos fault it is but I will think of someone....
-
- Just before I go I would like to send a small message to the guys
- from automation who were at the show if they are reading this:
-
- 1. Get some new t-shirts and may be a couple of sizes bigger!.
- 2. Do you work in the newsagents, down St johns St in colchester?.
-
- So this is goodnight from him and a goodnight from Me.... thats Dan of
- that most unknown of Crews REDLiTE or should that be BEDLICE.....
-
- Ps... Look out for DBA mag #8 for a real-timr party article from Bremen
