AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS... SINCE I (BROTH) AM THE CODER AND EDITOR OF THIS MEETRO I WILL BE SO VERY KIND TO LET THE OTHERS HERE WRITE FIRST (MY TEXT IS IN THE END, BE SURE TO READ IT!)... HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE DYING TO READ MY TEXT, YOU CAN ALWAYS PRESS RIGHT MOUSE TO SPEED THINGS UP A LITTLE! :-) ... BUT REMEMBER TO STOP WHEN THERE IS A LARGE SPACE, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE MY TEXT COMES!! DON'T FORGET TO CATCH MY ADRESS IN THE END! OK, LET'S FIRST HEAR WHAT CESIUM HAS TO SAY: YEP! THE IDEA FOR MAKING A MEETING DEMO CAME INTO MY (CESIUM'S) MIND AFTER A FEW HOURS TIME AT THIS GATHERING AT MY PLACE. AND AS THERE WERE A LOT OF SKILLED GUYS PRESENT, WE STARTED THE WORK IMMEDIATELY. OUR GOAL WAS THAT ALL THE PRESENT PERSONS WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THIS DEMO (WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT! -BROTH). THESE WERE: CESIUM / BALANCE (MAIN SCROLLTEXT, IDEAS, MORAL SUPPORT, SPREADING), BROTH / BALANCE (CODE, SPREADING, SCROLLTEXT, MORAL SUPPORT, VECTOR-OBJECTS, THIS FONT, IDEAS (BEAT YOU! -BROTH)) CHAGALL / BALANCE (GRAPHICS, IDEAS), D'FENCE / BALANCE (IDEAS (WHICH?) -BROTH)), DIZZY / BALANCE (SPREADING, IDEAS), SIR PARAGON / INDEPENDENT (MORAL SUPPORT, JOKING), TRAVOLTA / SPACEBALLS (MUSIC (AND FUCKING COOL IT IS TOO!! -BROTH)), , WIZZY / T.D.D (IDEAS (BY THE WAY HE IS A PC OWNER...) ... THIS DEMO WAS RELEASED ON JULY 30, 1993 JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A LONG SCROLLER, UNLIKE THOSE SHORTIES WHICH SEEMS TO BE SO POPULAR THESE DAYS (HI TMB DESIGNS!) DID YOU KNOW THAT I JOINED THE PORNOS RECENTLY? ANYWAY, NOW YOU DID AT LEAST, BUT I HAVE ACTUALLY NOT DECIDED YET WHICH FUNCTION I'M GOING TO HAVE... (MAIN) SCROLLTEXT EDITOR? - ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS? CHAGALL / BALANCE IS GOING TO JOIN THE PORNOS AS WELL... AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS... HMM.. CAN'T FANCY ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR TO WRITE AT THE MOMENT, I'LL BE BACK LATER ON... SOME BIG HOT MEALS ARE FLYING FROM ME OVER TO SKINDIVER, CHRISTINE DE LA QUEEN, CYBERSONIK, ACE, PROFILE, MAJIC MUSHROOM, NAZGUL, SLASH, ZANY, TYRANT (TURBORAKETTI RULEZ! HEHE...), PROTON, RAZTA, DRAIN, MOP, CYBERSONIK, TMB DESIGNS, LORD HELMET, KILLRAVEN, JACKPOT, RASTAN, DYZE AND ALL MY OTHER FRIENDS AND CONTACTS (ALSO TO THE ONES FROM WHICH I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM LATELY, LIKE RA, FESTER, CROWN, DEXY, ZINKFLOID, TFG, PINK PANTHER, GREEN-BERET AND FILIPPETTO. WHAT'S UP? POST ME A DISK SOON! A SMALL MESSAGE TO CRUEL / EPIC: THANKS FOR CONTACTING ME, BUT I SEEM TO HAVE LOST YOUR ADDRESS, COULD YOU PLEASE DROP ME A NOTE ONE OF THE NEXT DAYS? OOPS! LETTING THE KEYS OVER TO SIR PARAGON... THIS IS MY FIRST SCROLLY ON THE SCENE, SO I WILL MAKE THIS ONE MEMORABLE... I GUESS FEW OF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF ME, BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING ... LET ME GIVE YOU SOME INSIDE NEWS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE... CHAGALL IS DRAWING (HOW ORIGINAL), TRAVOLTA IS COMPOSING (EVEN MORE ORIGINAL) D'FENCE IS TAKING A NAP, CESIUM IS AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE DOING SOMETHING', BROTH PLAYS WITH HIS 'MOST THRILLING' A2000 (WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY 2000???!?!!?!??!) WIZZY IS _:;Ø*|?£...FU%!£... THE COMPUTER JUST FU%!£ED UP, SORRY... WIZZY CODING SOME FANCY BALLS, FORMING... (HE MANAGED THREE ON HIS 486 33 MHZ PC, I MANAGED OVER 150 (SEE ABOVE) ON MY 7.14 MHZ AMIGA...... -BROTH), DIZZY, LET ME SAY ONE WORD AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOING...ASCII...

GREETINGZ ALL AMIGA PHREAKS, THIS IS WIZZY / TDD AT THE KEYS. AFTER FIFTEEN HOURS INTENSIVE CODING I MUST SAY I ENVY YOU THE BLITTER.. SOME - OR MORE CORRECTLY A FEW (MANY! -BROTH) GRAPHICS OPERATIONS ARE A BIT SLOW ON THE PC. BUT I'M REALLY GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO MESS AROUND WITH ALL THOSE SOFTWARE GURU'S YOU GUYS ARE EXPERIENCING ALL THE TIME (NO, YOU JUST GET SYSTEM CRASHES. -BROTH). HEH.. LAST BUT NOT LEAST! I'M REALLY SICK 'N' TIRED OF THE EVERLASTING AMIGA VS PC DEBATE! I REALLY GET PISSED OFF WHEN I READ ARTICLES BY THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD AMIGA LAMERS (I'M NOT A LAMER! -BROTH) WHO STILL THINKS THAT PC'S ARE 8086S WITH MONOCHROME DISPLAYS (THEY ARE! THEY ARE! -BROTH)! TO THOSE OF YOU WITH THOSE SORTS OF OPINIONS I JUST WANT TO SAY: GO TO HELL (WELL AT LEAST THEY DON'T HAVE PC'S THERE... NO ELECTRICITY. BUT AGAIN, PC'S WORK BEST WITH THE POWER OFF, SO... -BROTH)! RIGHT... C U ALL LATER AT SOME DEMOPARTY. HI I'M D'FENCE AND YOU MUST BE A LOONIE HAVING READ ALL THIS SCROLLTEXT. DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT ANYONE ON THIS MEETING COULD BE ABLE TO WRITE ANYTHING WORTH READING? WELL YOU REALLY CAN'T BLAME THEM THOUGH, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FEEDING ON COKE, CHIPS AND ANYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO FLY IN THEIR DIRECTION. THEY HAVE LISTENED TO EVERYTHING FROM MOZART TO HARDCORE TECHNO AND MINISTRY. THEIR BRAINS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TOO MUCH ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND TOO LITTLE SLEEP. AS MENTIONED ABOVE I HAVE BEEN TAKING A LITTLE NAP (6 HOURS) AND AM ABLE TO THINK PRETTY CLEARLY. I ADVISE YOU NOT READ FURTHER. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND THINK ABOUT SOMETHING NICE THAT HAPPENED TO YOU AS A CHILD. I WONDER WHO HAS GOT A BRAIN DAMAGE HERE... AS YOU PROBABLY HAVE GUESSED, THIS IS MY PART OF THE TEXT... YES, I'M BROTH! I AM THE CODER OF THIS MEETRO, AND NOW IT IS MY TURN TO WRITE. FIRST I'LL WRITE SOME GREETS TO MY FEW CODER CONTACTS, BUT AS I HAVE ONLY 3 IT'LL BE OVER IN A FEW SECONDS, SO HAVE PATIENCE! WELLWELL, HI TO: SYLVER/SOLARIS - HOPE YOUR TRACKMO IS GOING WELL! MAJOR ASSHOLE/SPACEBALLS - SO YOU ARE WRITING A TRACE-ROUTINE... WHY DON'T YOU DO LIKE SYLVER AND WRITE A *RAY*-TRACE ROUTINE??? SO MUCH COOLER..... MINDFIGHTER/PSIONIC - GOT ANY MORE SOURCES FROM 1985?? BY THE WAY, THE NEXT ONE TO SUGGEST THAT I MAKE COLOURCYCLING IS GOING TO GET A FLAT NOSE!!! >:-( !!! I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A MEETING-REPORT MISSING HERE... I GUESS I HAVE TO WRITE IT THEN! WE (ME AND DIZZY) GOT HERE ABOUT 24:00 (AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER) THE DAY THE WHOLE THING STARTED. WE ALL SAT IN CESIUM'S ROOM, AND WITH FIVE MACHINES IN ONE (TINY) ROOM IT GOT A BIT CROWDED! ANYWAY, WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT I WAS THE ONLY CODER THERE, CESIUM ASKED ME IF I COULD CODE A PARTY-INTRO. 'YEAH, SURE! DO YOU HAVE TRASH'M-ONE? OH, WHICH VERSION? 1.4......'. SO I STARTED TO CODE, CHAGALL STARTED TO PAINT, TRAVOLTA STARTED TO COMPOSE, CESIUM STARTED TO WRITE AND SO ON. AFTER SOME HOURS OF HARD WORK I MANAGED TO CRASH THE SOURCE OF A SIMPLE 20-LINE PROGRAM THAT DISPLAYED A 1-BITPLANE PIC ON THE SCREEN ABOUT TWENTY TIMES. WHEN I SAY 'CRASHED' I MEAN IN TWO SENSES: THE DISK CRASHED SO I HAD TO FORMAT IT AGAIN, AND THE PROGRAM CRASHED WHEN I RAN IT, EVENTHOUGH I HADN'T DONE *ANYTHING* WRONG. I FOUND OUT THAT I COULDN'T CODE ANYTHING LIKE THIS, AND AFTER SOME PERSUADING I GOT CESIUM TO DRIVE ME HOME TO GET MY MACHINE. DIZZY CAME ALONG, BECAUSE HE WANTED SOMETHING TO EAT. HE BOUGHT A 'MYGLET SKOLEBOLLE', AND HE ATE HALF OF IT BEFORE HE NOTICED THAT IT TASTED WEIRD... WHEN WE GOT BACK, SIR PARAGON COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY..... MACHINE! BUT I LIKE IT AS IT IS. SO I STARTED TO CODE, BUT I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, OTHER THAN THAT IT IS *VERY* DIFFICULT TO CODE SOMETHING NICE UNDER PRESSURE!! WIZZY SHOWED ME SOME PC DEMOS, AND THEY WEREN'T THAT BAD ACTUALLY. BUT AGAIN THEY WERE RUNNING ON A 486 33 MHZ PC, AND MOST OF THE EFFECTS DIDN'T RUN REALTIME... LATER ON HE SHOWED ME SOM PICTURES, AND AMONG THEM WAS A PICTURE OF A GUY THAT HAD TIED A KNOT ON HIS DICK!! I SWEAR, IT IS TRUE!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT MYSELF, I WAS SO BUSY LAUGHING!! ANYWAY, TRAVOLTA WAS COMPOSING IN THE BASEMENT, AND MANY OF THE GUYS WERE DOWN WATCHING HIM. SO I WENT DOWN MYSELF, AND I MUST SAY THAT HE COMPOSES LIKE A TORNADO! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ABLE TO PRODUCE SO COOL MODULES IN SUCH A SPEED!! YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY IMAGINE THE SPEED HE COMPOSES IN, BUT YOU ALL KNOW THAT HIS SONGS ARE *EXCELLENT*!!! TOO BAD HE USED CIA-TIMING, THAT CAUSED SOME DELAY IN MY CODING, BECAUSE I HAD TO CODE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY THAN I DO NORMALLY. BUT THE MODULE WAS SO COOL THAT I HAD TO USE IT! ANYWAY, CHAGALL PAINTED SOME EXTREMELY COOL GRAPHICS FOR ME! THE MODULE AND THE GRAPHICS TOGETHER MAKES THIS DEMO EXTREMELY LARGE, BUT WE ALL FOUND OUT THAT 'SIZE DOESN'T MATTER', SO WE DECIDED TO USE BOTH AFTER ALL... HOPE THIS GET'S INCLUDED IN SOME PACKS :-) .... ANYWAY, I HAVE TO ASSEMBLE THIS SHIT NOW, BECAUSE IT IS NOW 5:28 IN THE NIGHT, AND I HAVE BEEN CODING THE WHOLE DAY+NIGHT & THE DAY&NIGHT BEFORE & THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT. SO YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME FOR NOW, I HAVE TO WRITE SOME LETTERS FOR MY CONTACTS, SO I CAN SEND THIS CRAP. ANYWAY, HERE IS MY ADRESS, FOR SWAPPERS, CODERS, JOINING OFFERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE: BROTH - GRASMYRVEIEN 15 - 4033 FORUS - NORWAY ... I HOPE YOU GOT THAT. DON'T HESITATE TO WRITE! WELL, GOTTA GO!
