Spurred by MacDeath's request to switch Richard Aplin from the Speccy group, which I found totally correct and embarrassing, I did something a little different.
I couldn't change his membergroup since 'speccy' etc is post-based, however I created a DEV membergroup, for h/w and s/w developers. Anyone can request membership in their profile area :)
Already assigned the group to Richard, btw - and apologies for the insult :D
Well I know he did Flyspy & Shinobi(?), other projects?? :D
Haha oh wow... Did I spawned this ? :D
Also you should create a "GODfather" category, if Sir Sugar or Roland Perry or other would come... (let's dream).
Sweet idea anyway.
Our godfathers :

Internet has Trolls, Amstrad has Crocodiles...
Also, who invented the AY 3-8910 ?
What about the original R-Type team ? did they open account here?
I guess mister Bob Pape would like to stay a speccy... ;D
What has a crocodile got to do with the CPC? Was it a french thing? It certainly didn't feature in the UK / Irland CPC scene.
Bryce.
I don't know where crocodiles came from either, just that there is Arnold, IDIOT & Big IDIOT. :D

She had only validated the advertising company idea... She not invented it.

The crocodile was used in French CPC adverts.
Amstrad CPC 8bit computers (1987 French advertisement) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJUAzhiLh-k#)
There are a few other adverts on youtube as well as this one.
the story and idea came from dented printed documents, as if bitten by crocodiles..
Amstrad passed for a company with big teeth to bite to market...which they did.
Back on topic now?
Seems the devs are not in a hurry to show off :)

Doesn't worry me if you want to make an Off-Topic Mobster group and stick me in it. :D
