yep! that was my reaction as well! I finally saw an .avi of the PULSE demo
late last year....and let's just say that, although I didnt have any part in
its creation, I certainly felt a great sense of pride seeing the groupname
that I came up with, attached to something so damn cool.

> When I left the scene they were well known but had yet to produce the high
quality productions that they apparently went on to produce.

yep, same here.. and to be quite hojnestly hubristic here, I didnt think
they would last much longer afterwards, let alone go on to *much* greater
heights than they did while I was around; the amiga scene just seemed to be
too much on the way out; was I ever wrong.

erm, I do remember meeting Infect people, couldnt remember faces or
anything, but then , you probably wouldnt recognize me today anyway either.
:-P

probably about me taking a copy of some of his source to peruse, while he
was asleep (and , like I said, I never used it, or distributed it, just
learned from it, I make no excuses for stealing it, but it did teach me a
lot of neat stuff)

jeez, who was this? sounds familiar but cant remember exactly who he
was...erm, yeah, probably because I lost track of how much I was drinking
about 5 hours into the weekend..

I miss those two slappers..great friends at the time.

possibly one in GV somewhere?

anyway, on to answer the other email now...
