Brain Teaser II

Clarifications

ManiacMan in CG's thread about replacing the NT server.

Are there more? I dont think I could keep up with two of him. ROFL "dillweed" cant get it out of my head. That is a "classic".

He certainly CAN be Manic

And, as a noob, he is MinOr

And everyone knows of Manic Miner (or should!)

Ah, the good old days of Manic Miner: 16K Ram, 48K for super users, no harddisk, no networking.
When TCP was something used to disinfect.
When the only hacking involved trying to "poke" infinte lives.
When it took longer to load a game than it does to download a copy of Ubuntu.
When the fight was Spectrum/Commodore, not PC/Mac/Linux.
When I didn't have to worry about work or the mortgage.

At least I don't have 'O' levels to study for anymore.

Nostalia eh? It's not what it used to be!

Maniac Man?

Yes, I am sure it was.

That guy gives "crusty" a whole new meaning!

How's it going for you, fargon? :)

Edited because the coffee isn't working yet.

Is a type of wheat. Really good to be honest. But like Vegemite, may be an acquired taste.

Call me a 'Power User', Bizzo!

Ahh, the evenings spent typing in magazine listings!
Ahh, the next mornings spent debugging last night's input!
Ahh, the rubber keyboard (was that a fetish?)!
Ahh, Peeking and Poking into the night!
Ahh, buying my first Competition Pro - I'd arrived!
Ahh, building a software collection on cassette tapes!
Ahh, the sheer joy of owning something that made other people laugh!

'O'-Levels ??? ...when I walked into WHSmith, in Walton-on-Thames, to purchase my 48K BEAST (in May 1982), I was already the Print-Buyer for MAFF, already had a mortgage and 2.4 cars and motorbikes!

Bizzo - you're just a youngster!

Thank you Sir, Power User Sir. Not very often I get called a youngster!

Competition Pro joystick, was never in to them. I preferred a Quickshot, or a Slik Stik, depending on the game.

Maybe you could ask Santa for one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Competition-Pro-5000-Joystick-PC/dp/B000J5U09W ?

Amazon !!

Jeez!! When I got one of these back in the 80s I'll swear it cost the better part of TWENTY QUID!

I'll settle down to a glorious Christmas session of MAME-driven Galaga.

Might even blow the dust off my Amiga emu and see if I've still got the slick moves for Rick Dangerous!

Better still, I'll see how it improves my score on Beamrider (C64, running in VICE 1.9).

Can't count how many keyboards I've destroyed in the last 15 years playing these old games.

From Wikipedia

Buckwheat is a short season crop that does well on low-fertility or acidic soils, but the soil must be well drained. Too much fertilizer, especially nitrogen, will reduce yields.

hope that there is only one. I would be hard to keep up with multiples.

that we all know about Pond Scum. The place wouldnt be the same without him.

Thanks!!!

And was it Smorty or The Trivia Geek that leaked the info about my multiple personalities? Somebody's in trouble with... somebody...

I was right then!!!
Actually I took a guess, neither Smorty nor Jay told me anything. And even if they both did, I would not tell that they did! :)
