>>>>>[Oh, nice! Just got back to Seattle and look what I found pending in my mailbox, an invite to Underworld 93. Don't know what it's all about but I'm always happy to meet new and old aquaintances. On another note, when I'm done releasing the second album of my band in a couple of days, I'll be back to running the shadows and that's going to be fun.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Thanks for the link, MacCallister.  Been a long time since I saw code like this around.  And seeing Cap's old message, well, brought a tear to my eye, just tossed a shot of scotch into the fire for him, and now my CHN is having a conniption.  New technology is not always better technology, let me tell you.  Always good to see the old crew and wanna-bes that are actually interested in old tech and ideas.  Means they're open to opinions, options, and opportunities, which is better than some of the folks I've been seeing on ShadowSEA far too often.  So, dusting off the ol' ShadowLand Username and Login info, and figure, what the hell, see what bites.  Or who.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Personally I find the old code makes me a bit nostalgic. Not the same way as some of you old deckers, but it reminds me of my old mentor back in FDC. I swear if that guy had owned a shotgun, and a lawn, he'd be chasing kids off of one with the other. Good times.]<<<<<

[CanRay]

>>>>>[Oh, I was never a Decker.  Just had a deck and a lot of free time and biz to be done.  And I have chased kids off my lawn with a bolt-action rifle (And, yes, a rocking chair.).  Got me kicked out of that damned gated community...  Ah, semi-retirement, I don't miss it.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Chasing kids off one with the other? Well, seeing an old decker chasing kids off his shotgun by throwing lawn patches would certainly be... interresting to say the least!]<<<<<

[CanRay]

>>>>>[I actually hired a Redneck Decker one time out of...  Somewhere in the CAS, worked out of a trailer park with a satlink.  Might still be there for all I know.  His cyberdeck was a kludge of components held together with duct tape, no actual DECK.  Just an old external keyboard for plugging into a portable telecom.  Electrocuted himself twice just trying to log in.  Got my paydata in less time than it took to heat up the soykaff, but dear Ghost I felt like the place was going to burn down just watching the bloody thing work.  The snowmoose head on one wall with the party hat on was also disconcerting, and badly stuffed.]<<<<<
     -- Money Johnson (23:00:02/10-05-73)

>>>>>[Crash 2.0 got him.  :-(  He was protecting a datahaven in his area trying to spread the ShadowLand message as far as possible.  The trailer did, indeed, burn down, too.  Luckily, only his body was there, so he didn't suffer (I hope.)]<<<<<

>>>>>[I gotta say, a fitting end for such a glorious creature!]<<<<<
     -- Smiley (11:13:14/10-05-73)

[CanRay]

>>>>>[You didn't see the guy.  Glorious was not how I'd describe him.  Honestly, I never met an uglier human, before and after.  And I've had to shake hands and smile to both Karl and Kenneth Brackhaven.]<<<<<
     -- Money Johnson (01:12:55/10-06-73)

[Smiley]

>>>>>[Hahaha! What I meant is, he went out in fucking style! I make myself no illusion, I'll most likely end up dead alone in a ditch somewhere, much sooner than later. But this guy, that's nearly poetic. Like the body of a Viking King on his Drakkar at large. I mean, if I was a Redneck Decker, I wouldn't want to go out any other way!]<<<<<
