To drag this back on topic, does anyone have any f***ing news at all about the Omega...?

I think you're right - he is in hiding. I shouldn't have made that comment about wanting to find him...

Well, I've spoken to D*** A***** a couple of times. He's really enthusiastic - I'm willing to forgive some of Microdigital's PR problems for someone like him. Although my patience is wearing a little f***ing thin.

They ought to be careful. The new iM*c may well tempt potential O**** customers away. My father is an A***e fan (being a graphic designer type and all) and he's getting fed up with me waiting for the O***, and may offer financial contributions in order to get a computer that actually exists!

As long as you don't say you'll eat him!

All I can say now is how the fr*lling h**l are we supposed to G****h the p*****g little s******s that ignore the r**l ????

PS ****

Er... I never wrote any obscenity list for the site, the forums were written by Tim (see copyright, page bottom)

Of course :-o

And I probably shouldn't say this, but when I added the "Guest" stuff to the news comments, I hand-edited an obscenity out and the poster seemed to think it'd been automatically removed, which I never confirmed or denied

Well you've confimed it now!!

I did write a list of Perl regular expressions prior to that for a schools project, which Tim saw though.

The last news item on the microdig website was Friday 30th November 2001. Thas really not good...

It annoys me. God knows I realise the amount of work Microdigital are doing, but letting release dates, and even announcement dates slip this much really isn't on. (Hopefully it'll be soon though - and I can't wait.)

So, John, what's on the menu? Don't let it interfere with your uni work though

Wait until I get hold of someone with a camera... But yes, it'll have to wait until after my exams, which finish in two weeks.

Hmm, having one of those 'do as I say not as I do' moments though, as this time last year I decided to create a website to avoid revising for my January exams...

Erm, yes, I've only just stopped doing that myself! (A Woof! website - it'll probably come in the next few months, as I've got a lot of research to do.)

Unfortunately, one of my assignments was to build my intranet site from tasks on a load of worksheets. It was supposed to be online and all documentation handed in at 3:00pm today. It wasn't. So, the maximum mark I can get now is 40%

I'm so glad I don't do that here.

I'm going back to Middlesbrough on Saturday, where my Risc PC is. I'll try and get someone with a camera, so give a bit to sort it out. But you will have photographic evidence, as I never go back on promises...

Now, where does Dave Atkins live?

And BTW, after extensive deliberation, I've already admitted defeat on Risc PC eating. Curse Microdigital for not making the Omega in time this way! I'll have to get my hands on a digital camera somewhere... and if Microdigital thinks I'm standing up for them anymore, they can go and eat the whole fecking production line!

And who's gonna be first with the punchline on that one?

Well, if you think being born in Nottingham, having spent the first quarter-century of my life there, and having to spend about 5 hours travelling back every time I want to see my folks convenient...

Same here... Just off now to catch a nice, hot, stuffy coach. Yay. Mind you, I've got 24-hour internet access now for the next three weeks, so that'll keep me happy for a bit..
