Shamms Mortier emerged years ago in the eighties on the Commodore Amiga computer scene. As I remember, he teaches at some college on the East Coast -- in Vermont I believe. He would write articles and reviews for the two Amiga magazines, "Amazing Computing" and "Amigaworld." His articles always demonstrated (to me at least) how much of a rank beginner he was at handling the software. I always got the impression that he was mostly in it for the free software that he could get as a reviewer. As the Amiga began to decline in popularity, fewer and fewer writers bothered to keep writing for the magazines. By the end of the Amiga's life, Shamms Mortier was pretty much the ONLY guy still writing for "Amazing." I have always thought for years that he's been pulling one of the biggest scams ever by passing himself off as a knowledgable writer. It's funny to see how, after all these years, people are finally on to him. And what's really scary is that he's also been passing himself off somewhere as a TEACHER, too!
