RE: A83: CalcEm, Aurora, endless venting, etc.
Well, he supposedly finished AShell2, Dying Eyes 83 (port of Alex Highsmith's 82 version), and ZTetris 83, then he supposedly lost it all when he had to reinstall Windows.
As for his age, he's like 18-19, or something like that.

Speaking of Bill, WTF has he been? How old is he anyway? I could
understand his ditching the 83 if I knew he was graduated from school and
has a full time high paying job. He hasn't released any 83 progs since
January. He could give us all a great deal of ASM help. You didn't
lock him away somewhere did you, Joe ? : ) Just kidding. Your a lot
more of a help than he is anyway and you have a cooler webpage! Hail
SOS! Long live Joe!
