sy is my initials and 278 is my house number.

That should be enough information to find this guy's house if we ever need to steal spare VIC 20 parts.

you might think so, but what I didnt say is I no longer stay at that house, but its been my username for so long I keep using it.

Surely Glasgow should be large enough to have more than one street where house numbers go up to 278 ? But yes, it is a rather large number if numbering starts at 1.

numbering does start at 1 but there are very few streets in Glasgow that won't reach to 278.

I'll meet you at Heathrow. I want in on this heist.

(Should I have sent this via PM?)

This is certainly the strangest greeting we've given anyone yet.

Welcome, Scott.

He can't seem to find the rest of his stuff; what makes you think you can?

What?????!!!!

After 150 posts I become a Vic-20 nerd?

Being a master was great.

I could live with being called a fanatic.

But now I am a nerd?

Don't you think the scale is kind of running backward?

What is next? Vic-20 vegetable?

Nerds are much more knowledgeable than fanatics and masters. What's next? Undead, if you wish...

Of course I am always open to title suggestions. What should we call him?

"undead" huh? I guess that is just a creepy way of saying "resurrected"

Well I see your number of posts and it looks like I am quite a way away from becoming undead.

On one hand I am tempted to write a whole bunch more just to get out of the "nerd" category, but I am only afraid that what follows might be worse!

Actually, at the risk of sounding pretentious, I wouldn't mind becoming a Vic-20 Scholar due to the fact my interest is not purely technical.

Vic-20 Philosopher is neat, but a bit too pretentious for my tastes.
