Re: A89: Re: Re: Petition!!!!!!!!!!
I don't see a point in petitioning the rom versions and the asm
compatibility. I can see why with the 8k program size. I personally don't
like it either. But, I'm not going to do anything about it nor, will I put
my name on a petition as stupid as this. As you said, if you don't like it,
then leave.
