4 lines, constant activity, constant dropping.

And what exactly do you have loading, fool?

Wrong form of "your."  That should be a contraction, "you're."  Dumbass.

Tasteless.

>(compressed version of MYST)

Not really:

>>MacOS

Smart ass.

>>MachTen
>Is this a MAC game?

So, this is a UNIX.  Can you say M-a-c??  It's not an acronym.

>>AIX
>(artificial intelligent X) X=dunno

Another UNIX.

>>A/UX
>sounds like the above

It is; another UNIX.

>>SoonToBeReleased Linux
>>NetBSD

Both UNIXes.

As for the sig muder, you really are a foolish pee-cee user, aren't you?

>>Never call a man a fool.  Borrow from him.
>FOOL MAC USER

Yup.  He's an idiot.
