Aaaaaaand it is what? Picture? Link somewhere to a box picture at least? Booooooooooo.
Haha I guess I was being a little cryptic.

I thought I was buying a copy of Zaxxon for the Tandy Color. What I actually ordered was Zaxxon for the TRS-80 (the predecessor to the Tandy Color).

The terminology is kinda confusing because the Tandy Color was initially called the TRS-80 Color Computer.

You know what irks me? People don't seem to be able to understand that if you want something nice and professional looking, it's going to take some time. They seem to be under the impression that a good logo, or a full program/pamphlet/personal flyer layout with customized graphics, should only take a couple of hours to complete.

It doesn't.

Now, can I do one of the above in a couple of hours? Of course. But don't be surprised if it doesn't look much better than something you could have put together yourself.

Well I didn't get accepted. That put a damper on the day for sure.

:x :| People taking friendship for granted and making it a one way road.

Sometimes I think I would be better off with just my cats. Animals are really the only beings that accept you for who you are and never lie to you or have hidden agendas. Except when they're hungry. Then they act like food sluts...
