Think what you want. People who know me know that I'm not Don.
Although I don't post as much as I used to I have been around these
forums longer than Don has.
As far as the ground wire it works better on the ECCI than on the TSW.
Don, has a TSW but regularily uses his MS wheel with ECCI pedals. I use
a MS wheel with my TSW pedals most of the time but I do experiment.
I was also a beta tester before Don and much longer than Don.
I have been to Papyrus to my knowledge Don never has.
The fact that I anaylze things comes easily for me as I do that for a
living.
Anything else you would like to know?
As far as giving praise to Papyrus you must really be a newbie. I was
one
of their few defenders during the days of waiting for TEN to start. I
stopped defending
them when they lied to me and didn't honour things they said they would.
I lost a lot respect when I watched them letting some of their best
employees
go because they were too cheap to pay them or to cheap to fix things in the
game they didn't agree with. I could go on but enough said.
As far as Don goes I have had many fights and disagreements with him
over
the years but today we are actually good friends, as I am with many who have
been around from the early days.
My email address is in Canada, Don is in Florida.
I could further elucidate you but I think you get the picture.

LOL it was fraternal. I must have hung out in the
womb for six or seven years before popping out. :-)

Actually, if you compare the prose, you will notice a big difference between
Don and Pete's writings.
They both have been around a long time.

I will vouch for Pete... I will vouch that he is not DW. I won't vouch
that he's any better, but...... ;)

Do I smell BHMS...... <VBG>

I'm not sure this is a wringing endor***t but
I'll take it. :-)
Yes you probably do smell BHMS as they are affliated
with the unclean of the world. ;-)

Scott, no problem. I get moody with all the
***I have to take into me. The pain killers don't
help either so I have lots of bad days.
Hell, I can't even believe I wasted my time talking
with Adam the other day. Talk about wasting time. :-)

Does the NR2003.exe in your directory really show a date of July 18, 2003?

Joachim, yes it does. I strongly suspect this is a brand new
patch as there was an older beta patch in the directory as well.
The language used in the install also suggests this must
be very close to the final if its not indeed the final.

1.1.0.0 sounds like the final to me.

LOL--it won't. The .exe date is June 25th. He's obviously looking at the
installation or download date of...something.

Thanks for the info, Pete. So you didn't download the beta_patch7.exe this
thread's first posting links to? What was your's called?

That goes beyond wasting time - almost to self mental ***. ;)
