I think "stop bashing us and we'll stop bashing you" sums it up here.  Let's face it, unless Ppera changes his attitude dramatically nothing is really going to change, but it would be nice to stop these arguments and maybe just stay out of each others faces in 2009.

I'm not having a go at Ppera here - I don't want to get personal like we all have in the past (with the jokes posted here and elsewhere) - I believe that he really wants to try to get along with us all and that is commendable.  I suppose the proof will be in the pudding - if he replies and starts mouthing off then there's no hope, but if he's willing to take back his comments about Christos having shitty hardware, etc. then maybe we can move on.

Ppera, is it really that hard to say "sorry" for being an asshole in the past (by posting as Wiper here, calling CJ a Nazi on Atari Age, etc.), and admit that there is a possibility that some of your software is buggy?  Like you say, the combinations of hardware out there are almost limitless so there is bound to be a problem for someone - why not ask people for help testing in the future rather than releasing stuff after only testing in Steem and a few machines?

FYI, I'm using the latest version of HD Driver with the default cache settings (I didn't change them when I installed it).  I suspect it is the intro causing the fatal crash in bombjack, but I won't know for sure without retrying it again - and I'm not going to be able to do that until I have some free time to format a new Zip Disc specifically for this reason (I'm really busy at the moment).  I will get back to you with more details when I've tried it again.
