@BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZAfter 3 Years, CAFFEINE is forced To Leave
The Scene. Final Greetings and Future Plans
From The Guy Who Brought You CONSOLE NEWS,
PUTONLINE, And Numerous Other Items...
@END_FILE_ID.DIZ

Earlier today I got two surprises... One of which involved one of my
so-called 'friends' taking my 1.2gig harddrive out of my computer while I
was not at home. The second involved my continuing court case with Sega.

The 1.2gig HD had everything on it: SAS/C, my BBS related files, ect. 

To make a long story short, I am going offline until further notice. I do
not have the money to afford another harddrive. I do not have the money to
pay for the long distance /XNet charges. 

I just wanted to let you all know this.

During the past 3 years I've made alot of friends in the scene. I'd like to
thank some them for everything they've done...

Apprentice : Hang in there bud.. Keep in touch.

Gazzer: Stop working for Microsoft and buy another Amiga! Seriously
though, you were my first "real" user and nobody has even come close to
matching you. Thanks.

Bren: Thx for the uploads, too bad you couldn't match Gazzer... 

J/\Y: Thx for the uploads and chats. 

Paranoid: You are one crazy son of a bitch. Take it easy. I still haven't
rented BRAINDRAIN ( or BRAINDEAD? )... 

Sir Garbagetruck: Take it easy...

Cyborg: Thanks for the ASCIIs and chats.

nocTurne: Thanks for the C help and constantly calling me ( idiot, moron,
ect). Hehe... gregorian chants eh?

MaT: Haven't seen you in a while and I doubt you will read this. Thanks for
all the German lessons. I remember when you were only at 2400baud....

Brujjo Dihital: Some shit we're going through, eh? 

cEVIN kEY: YOU better call me sometime... I have more info on Skinny Puppy
now... if I can find it all again..
sIGMA sEVEN: Good luck with S!X.. hope it takes off... Thx for the uploads
abd burps.

Winston: Dunno what to say... Hope your bbs is still up and running
smoothly.

The White Knight: Thanks for all the console information, demos, codes,
trainers...

Pan: Keep up the great coding... You & TWK are definately the best out
there...

Picard: Nothing to worry about. Lips are sealed.

Venior: I guess you don't have to worry about me changing your stats now.
Keep up the trading..

Green Beret: How's old FP doing?  haven't been able to call in the longest
time.. I wonder if my account is still active?  Guess I'll never know...
Take it easy...

Shuyuki Tanaka: I guess Caffeine-Request will never see the light of day.
Great door though. I hope it comes in handy and continues to work. On the
bright side-- no more updates.. Take it easy man. Keep trading those DATs!

ByteMaster: /X4.0+ seems ok. But there are still a few problems in it. Sorry
I won't be around to find them for you.. Keep up the good work!

The OutLaw: Thanks for all your time and patience. Most of all, thanks for
helping me out with /XNet. 

The Champ: I'll miss the "mail massacres" we've been having. Take it easy..
Auf Weidersehen....

Mrs.Engle: Where DO you buy your crack from??

Doom: Where ya been?

The Great Muta: Keep trading on Main Source... I won't be around to keep an
eye on you, so stay out of trouble and don't argue with Germans -- we're
always right.

The Unknown Gamer: I guess F.U.C.K. got off the ground, eh? Stay out of
trouble and don't let anybody catch you like they did me. It's not on the
'top 10 things to do' list, trust me.

To All My Friends: K E E P   I N   T O U C H. You guys are the best..

I might open up a Music-Only BBS, since I still have all the files from my
ALT001 conf. Unfortunately, you /XNet folks will have to find a new host for
it, one that can come close to my insane behaviour :)

In case you haven't noticed, CONSOLE NEWS has been dead for quite some time.
I made a message in the CONSOLE NEWS NetConf but nobody seemed to care.

Before SEGA everything was on top of the world. After SEGA busted me, I
guess you could say I found out who my real friends were. Alot of people
still think I'm working with/for SEGA. All I have to say to you is get off
the crack.

I wish all my friends, mentioned or unmentioned, the best of luck. And I
want you all to keep in touch... I'll miss you guys...
