Scratches on a lion's wall - Whee!

Those who know me also know that I collect computers, and mainly portables...

I already have:
The World's first portable(The Osborne One. Some would clam the IBM 7500 was first, but I won't count anything that it takes two people to move)

The world's first laptop(the Epson HX-20. To anyone who guessed the TRS-80 model 100, sorry, but that came a year later)
The Epson FP-200 may also be able to claim that title, but as it has 'handheld' written on it, maybe not...
(And in any case, I have one of those, too)

And now? I just won the bidding on a Commodore 64SX 'Executive' computer, which is the world's first portable with a colour screen!
It's a fixer-upper, though...
(As if I could afford one in mint condition...)

Current Mood: giddy

First off, congratulations on the bidding!

Secondly, this is probably going to make me sound really stupid, but who are you? I'm addded to your flist, but at 4:15 in the morning, I swear I can't think of how you'd know me. Care to give me a hint?

'Stupid is who stupid does,' somebody said.

Not asking is usually more stupid, so...

I'm just a geek who suck at RPG's, have never played a real RP, only computer games (I never even finished 'The Hobbit' on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum back in 1985), but is still fascinated by them.
(Incidentally, I once owned the Warhammer rulebooks, scenario and dices, but could never find anyone to play with, so ended up selling it all)

I've already responded in your Journal entry about how I found you, so won't repeat that here.

I never played any organized RPGs either, if it makes you feel better. Not even games like Final Fantasy [insert number here]. Text-RP is the only way for me, baby XD

I'm working on a text-mode adventure(but very slowly), maybe I can trick you into trying it when it's finished...

If you want me to, I could do some editing on your stories. I even promise NOT to be nice. ('nice' editors should be shot on sight!)

Maybe. I'm usually up for being a beta for people.

Oooh, sounds interesting. Except the only stuff I've been writing recently is fanfiction. *pause* How did you know I write, incidentally, or was that just a wild shot in the dark?

I read your mind...

Or was it your profile....

Insight into my soul indeed, that thing is.
