Hi!

This text came from George Bain's homepage. I just wanted to reply on
his "nice story"

>ECTS 98 
>While another ECTS has come and gone. After 4 days at the NY booth I
>just wanted to take the rest of the year off. We had a great area,
>but it was far too hot. I was dying everyday that I was there! I drank

>take any air in. 

I'm just starting to like the fact that the Sony-stand was that hot.

>Then there would be idiots who ask the most dumbass questions, people
>who use our net connection to view what ever they felt
>like it, 

That would happen, you could have known that, better next time concider
running a backup from the page local on the computer. In that case they
can't surf on and you don't need the connection.
And dumbass questions? what did you expect? You were there to explain!

>people who saw some free pens and come in... grab a fucking 
>handful and leave, 

Hehehe, be glad they left! hehehe how many pens do YOU have at home? 1??
Did you have to pay the pens? Concider selling them next year.
And personally I liked the PSX pens much better than the cheap NY-pens.

>and then of coarse those NY members bitching about 
>the price drop. Do you honestly think that Intel gives a refund to
>those customers who buy a computer and the prices of their chips drop 
>every 3 months? 

This is a dumbass question. Do you get a membership with your
Intel-stuff? and did you follow a course to use your proccessor??
And you didn't even get the point! It's not about the refund, it's about
giving wrong information. Telling there will be a pricedrop for students
in a couple of months and non-students buy the NY expensive to hear
afterwards that they could get in for more than 100 pounds less if they
waited one or two weeks.
You are part of a project that is called: "LETS DO IT TOGETHER", you
know -social stuff-, so I ask if you are the right person for the
function you take at SCEE. Maybe they should concider Robert Swan for
the job, just becourse he has social skills.

>Although, I do feel sorry for those who bought it in the 
>previous 3 days. 

Yeah right..

>I did manage to get a look at some of the other areas like
>the Nintendo booth. I really like Turok 2, and Zelda of coarse. I can't
>wait to get my hands on them! 

SCEE could get far more dedicated personal I suppose. I have nothing
against Nintendo, but you are working for Sony and talking this way
about your biggest concurent, seems like you prefer Nintendo over the
system you supposed to support. 

>The show was more or less a huge pile
>of crap games. 

Yeah, we all know you could have done a much better job personally.

>Only a handful stood out from the rest of crowd. Sony 
>had a huge selection of games but I played all of them 5 months ago.

Wow, now you are supercool. So you are saying that sony just showed some
old crap to us? You are a great support for sony......  not.

>There were some pretty awesome looking PC games but they were all
>running on 3DFX cards and PII's. Not much programming skill there!! 

Does that matter? It's the result (game), not the programming that
counts. Do you only use a text-editor to do your web-page?

>For those members who were lucky to get into the Sony Party on 
>Monday sure were in for a treat. It was way fucking cool and 
>smoking hot. 

Well, here I agree! to be honest.

>I don't remember much that night except putting my head on a 
>table for 2 hours..getting back up and going home. 
>What a fucking party! Can't wait till next year to do this all 
>over again. I hope the PlayStation area isn't so damn hot 
>like this year. 

I suppose they will learn from their mistakes, and mybe we should do
that to.

Oh and George, I use bad words, but I'm not from SCEE. And you are
And in your position this* is not very polite.
