He teached me how to solder correctly (I was a disaster!), how to meditate, how to talk Spanish with a pretty sexy accent, how to dye my hair (blue and violet now!), and how to be a good hacker: - he is curious, pure at heart, loyal to friends, always trying to share his knowledge sincerely... <3</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So, please, it was not a lack of respect. It was certainly an usual lack of time. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Darling, I am deeply sorry, but "FUCKIN LET ME TALK !" are not the magic words for make part of HOPE 2020.

Here it goes. (aggressive style on purpose, but I'm a quite guy "normally")<br>
<br>
Thanks for the answers from the list, Mitch didn't answer which, again, <br>
is for me a lack of respect but "quite understandable" of course.<br>
<br>
If you let me talk I won't disapoint anyone.<br>

Are you even real ?<br>
<br>
Not following anyone on twitter is useless. You just miss half of <br>
functionnalities.<br>
<br>
Ok so it's super cool. xD<br>
<br>
I DREAM of this Pensilvania hotel sometimes.<br>
<br>
Why ?<br>
<br>
Because I'm poor and proud of it. Never went there to your famous "scene".<br>
<br>
But I'v been a 2600 real supporter since I bought it and read a lot, and <br>
re-read it.<br>
<br>
Let me be clear, you have a brother talking sincerly to you.<br>
<br>
So just to go fast,<br>
<br>
I'd like to organize a talk right now or within 72 hours,<br>
<br>
about my experiences at the TETALAB ("give me back my 2600s and my Atari <br>
!" would be the title).<br>
<br>
:o<br>
<br>
Hope you'r ready for critics.<br>

relaxing.<br>
