My accent has slowly faded after about 7 years here
Its still noticeable but people keep calling me Canadian now.
I lived near Sandton, one of the nicer areas.
So why're you down there?

# All we could afford were Spectrums and STs.
We had to find our own amusement by beating C64 and Amiga owners with big sticks.

I love a summary I once saw that had one of the C64's plus points down as 'browner graphics'.

I remember Repton 3 was the first game on the BBC that used speech, just a crappy 'welcome to repton 3' thing at the beginning of the game, but I was still blown away!
