How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I have two boxed copies of Warp 3 in my cupboard. But they're not installed on anything.I also have disks for OS/2 1.something from an old RM server my dad looted from the school he works at.

Oh dear..I have 1.0, 1.2, 1.2EE, 1.3, 2.1, 2.1 for Windows, 3.0 Red (two copies), Warp 3 Connect Red and 4.0 (full retail and the developer version without embedded WinOS/2).
Fortunately I gave up there, and moved to Windows and Unix. I do still have a rarely used Warp 4 box though..
