RIGHT NOW ALL OF US BUT THE CIRCUIT, MANDROID AND MR MIKE

THE DATE IS 1987-12-18 AND THE TIME READS 23:24:25.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU WANNA CONTACT US, WAIT UNTIL WE
GET HOME (OR LOOK FOR US DOWNSTARIRS!) WELL, ANYHOW THE
ADDRESS TO THE HAWKEYE IS AS FOLLOWS: STEFAN SJOSTEDT,
KOSMOSGATAN 12, 415 21 GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, EARTH, SOLAR
SYSTEM, MILKY WAY, UNIVERSE!
NOW LET'S PASS THE KEYBOARD TO A MEMBER NAMED THE
CIRCUIT (WHO WROTE A LITTLE MESSAGE BEFORE THE PARTY):
HELLO, I'M THE CIRCUIT A FORMER MEMBER OF THE TECHNOCRATS
WORDWIDE (TTW) AND TRIAD.
YOU'LL SOON GET MY FIRST CRACK ON THE AMIGA FOR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
ON THE AMIGA. AND I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL KEEP EVEN BETTER
STANDARD ON MY AMIGACRACKS THAN MY C64 CRACKS.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK AND SAY HI TO ...
ALL THE FORMER TTW MEMBER (ESPACIALLY THOSE IN TRIAD).
AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO APPOLOGISE TO THOSE WHO HAD SENT DISKS
THAT I HAVEN'T RETURNED BUT YOU'LL BE SWAPPING WITH SOMEBODY
ELSE IN DIGI-TECH (NONE LESS THAN MANDROID)
I CONGRATULATE TBS/FLT, ZAPHOD/V42, COVENANT/NORTHEN LIGHTS
AND CCS FOR THERE SO FAR GOOD WORK ON THE AMIGA...
SOME PERSONS OR GROUPS IN SWEDEN BOAST VERY MUCH EVEN THOUGH
THEY HAVEN'T ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING EXTRAORDINARY,
AND CONSIDER THEMSELF AS THE BEST. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO
THEM THAT THEY SHOULD STOP IT, GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND
START WORKING. (I DO NOT BY ANY MEAN CONSIDER DIGI-TECH AS
THE BEST.) I THINK IT'S RATHER RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU CLAIM
THAT YOU ARE THE BEST. I HOPE MY MESSAGE REACHED YOU.
THANK GOD THERE ARE NO FREEZE FRAMES ON THE AMIGA.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT MY AMIGA IS NOT MY MAIN
HOBBY, THEY ARE INFACT MY GIRLFRIEND, DANCING AND ALCOHOLIC
PARTYS(HEHEHE...).
MY LAST WORDS ARE: SEE YOU ALONG THE ROAD TO NOWHERE?!!!!!
AND NOW ANOTHER MISSING MEMBER: MANDROID!
HI, THIS IS MANDROID WRITING HOME TO YOU!!!!!!!!
I'M NOT ON THE COPYPARTY RIGHT NOW!!!! IN FACT THE PARTY
WON'T BEGIN UNTIL TOMMOROW AND I WILL NOT BE THERE(I GOT
TO WORK)... RIGHT NOW I'M LISTENING TO U2 ON THE RULER'S
GHETTOBLASTER. THAT DOESN'T MATTER SINCE I'LL STILL BE
LISTENING TO THEM DURING THE COPYPARTY, BUT THAT WILL BE
HOME ON MY OWN GHETTOBLASTER (REMARK FROM HITCHHIKER:
0.5 WATT), OF COURSE!!!
AS I ALREADY MENTIONED, I'M NOT ON THIS COPYPARTY, I'M HOME
LISTENING TO U2 (ON MY OWN GHETTOBLASTER) AND PROGRAMMING
ON DIGI-TECH SAMPLES WHICH WILL BE READY ON NEW YEARS DAY,
I HOPE... IT'S A SORT OF PLOT IN THAT TOO...
IT WILL HOPEFULLY BE PRETTY GOOD WHEN FINISHED!!! IT WILL
CONTAIN 16 SAMPLES ON TWO DISKS, THAT YOU CAN USE IN
YOUR DEMOS, INTROS, ETC. ETC. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL
YOU ANYMORE ABOUT IT UNTIL IT'S FINISHED, BUT AS I LIKE
U2 THERE WILL BE SOME SAMPLES OF THEM THERE.
'I WILL FOLLOW' WILL BE THERE IN ITS OWN WAY....
BY THE WAY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY 'HI' TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND
CONTACTS EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T GOT THAT MANY... ...YET!!!
I HAVEN'T GOT A LOT OF CONTACTS, I SAID... DID YOU GET IT!!??
(MY ADRESS IS EASILY FOUND IN THE TELEPHONE-DIRECTORY!!!)
SORRY, I'M IN A HURRY RIGHT NOW!!! I CAN'T WRITE ANY MORE
BORING BULLSHIT (LUCKY YOU!!), BUT I'LL BE BACK IN DIGI-TECH
SAMPLES AND THERE THERE WILL BE LOTS OF TIME...
UNTIL THEN... U2 4EVER!!!!!!! SIGNED MANDROID....
OK, THAT WAS MANDROID WITHe HIS LITTLE SPEECH!!!
ARE YOU STILL LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC OR HAVE YOU
TURNED THE VOLUME DOWN??? IF YOU HAVE ITS TIME TO
PUMP IT UP 'CAUSE THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENT TUNE NOW!!!!!
NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE RULER TO MAKE SOME TEXT IN THE SCROLL:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY OUT THERE, AS YOU KNOW THIS IS
THE RULER WRITING LIVE AT THE COPY PARTY. I HOPE YOU ALL
LIKE THE MUSIC I SAMPLED TO THIS DEMO. I'M PRETTY SATISFIED
WITH IT. THE TIME IS NOW 0:30:00 AND ALL IS WELL EXCEPT FOR
MY INSPIRATION TO WRITE, MAYBE IT WILL COME TO ME LATER.
IT'S COMING..... IT'S COMING.... OH YES, IT'S COMING...
AHH!!!! IT'S HERE!!! SHUT THE DOORS, LOCK THE WINDOW!
DON'T LET IT ESCAPE!!!! DAMN IT, IT ESCAPED!!!
I WILL PASS THE KEYBOARD TO HAWKEYE FOR THE TIME BEEING, BUT
I'LL BE BACK LATER......
HERE I AM, I DON'T HAVE ANY INSPIRATION EITHER, BUT I'LL
COME UP WITH SOMETHING. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ZAPHOD OF
VORTEX 42 FOR LISTENING AND ANSWERING TO LOADS OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES (DID I SPELL THAT ONE RIGHT??)
...OHHHH WHAT A GOOD TUNE THERE IS BLASTING OUT OF THE
SPEAKERS OF HITHHIKERS GHETTOBLASTER (REMARK FROM HITHHIKER:
300 MEGAWATTS) (REMARK FROM HAWKEYE: MAYBE A SLIGHT
EXAGERATION.) IT IS "I WANNA BE YOUR DRILL INSTUCTOR" FROM

LAST WORDS TO HITCHHIKER... SEE YOU SOME OTHER TIME (WHEN
I HAVE GREATER INSPIRATION)........
HI FREAKS! I'M BACK! HAVE YOU MISSED ME?! OF COURSE YOU HAVE!
