Hey, Welcome back Joe :) Good to have you here again :)

Kind of surprised my old echo is still around, tell you the truth. <g>

Now that I'm running again, I need to pull out my old registered copy of Allfix and start messing with files again, especially as there may be some Apogee files to upload. :)

Hmm. I've sent at least 5 messages.. But I kinda knew they didn't get
there, because I didn't get replies.. I only have 49 messages in this base
in many months. weird.. but;. link fixed, everybody happy! :-)

Actually, I'm sure Steve received at least 2 messages (In August 2000), I
got replies as well. But since September or so... No link anymore :-(

Welcome to the Apogee Echo

Actually, it has been areafixed for many months now, since Steve Quarella &
I started to 'reminisce' (or however you write that word :) about old
Apogee games & stuff :-)

Thanks anyway :)

Oh, and thanks all for verifying my message :-))

Can it be explained? It's just one of those inside jokes Steve and I have - it was originally a thing at work, but it's been expanded beyond a company joke to something wider.

I don't think anyone else except us two would find it funny, anyway.

I mentioned elsewhere tonight that Joe and I had our own version of the Budweiser "Whazzzup?" -years- before the commercials happened: When I call Joe's house, usually, his wife answers, and I say "Um...umm...um...I was looking for some...help...with...um...um...Wolfenstein." Then he gets on the phone and says "Um...um...um...DOOM." :-)

At this rate, we'll all be standing around with our hands in our pockets, looking at each other, saying "Dooommm," and giving the Rimmer salute.

Remember the guy from Japan who came into visit Scarff about being a dealer, bringing a watermelon like it was a big gift (I think the guy paid $40 for it in Japan), only to get all offended when Scarff told him that we could send him
home with all the watermelons he'd ever eat for $40? I can still hear Dennis laughing about that.

Imagine that: I've got an Apogee story you've never heard. :-) ISTR the guy was nasty with Pat Miller, thinking her to be one of the office geishas who had
to make him coffee, not realizing who she was (and where HE was). May have been George's ma, too.

Remember how Scarff laughed when a dealer from "Fukyu" wrote? :-) Man, he used
to come out of his office with this grin on his face, wanting to share the latest hilarity with the tech room. I remember one time, too, I got a pretty nasty letter from someone who cried about how we did such a lousy support job for that Doom game he bought from us. Dennis grabbed the letter from me and sent his own response, doing everything but calling the guy a "dummy" (and you know how diplomatic Dennis could be).

I don't think she knew me by name. She asked about Shaun Green all the time, though, going back to the days when Lee and I were sitting where you are.

Ignore him, Steve. Bryan is brain dead from working so close to Rimmer for so long. DF is still just as insane. I'm sure Bryan will say "How do you know, you don't answer the phones".

I don't have to know from current experience. The past was enough.

DF is a major reason in why I am selective in considering what kind of help desk work I'll do. My days of dealing with the public are long, long, long over.
