Overall, I agree. My only problem with the idea is that I'm seeing more and more people just use "AI;DR" to deride an opinion that they don't agree with. It's becoming the new "paid shill".

Someone gave my grandfather a Games BASICA floppy that had this and other games on it. But this copy had a few games that had been "modified".

He took it away from us when he found out.
