How did you choose your username?

no; see attached

I find the attachment condescending - I understand what yer saying, I was wondering if you were playing in the word live then or you were serious

I guess trying to provide proof via a screenshot can be seen that way but I'm not trying to be condescending. A large part of bug reporting is providing screenshots and is seen as normal and expected. I therefore try to always provide screenshots as proof for UI glitches.

@Hitcore is English a mandated subject in school in the Netherlands?

It is, @AllThingsTech (and Retro). It starts in elementary school on an introductory level, and in high school (or whatever the equivalent of that is in Britain, excuse me for my American-heavy terminology, I've spent a lot of time in Texas) we receive more advanced lessons. Additionally, depending on which educational direction and school, we are getting either German or French by this time as well. I've had German.

OMG call me the perfect hypocrite haha! This is also a large part of my software engineering role when collaborating with QA... it becomes habitual, spilling over to "proving someone didn't read my message properly" etc

@Crims and @Geffers I'm also curious about your usernames

I love @Crims - short and sweet, crimson

 

[AllThingsTech]

[Crims]

Crims is from Crimson Viper - which was my alias before the name was popularised on Street Fighter IV, or The Crims I guess.

This is the original Acorn A310. Check out the iconic A logo on the monitor, my avatar. That's a real picture too, not superimposed. Beats me how they hid the power cable though as they didn't have Photoshop like they do now to erase it. Answers on a postcard to the us

Cut my teeth an an Acorn A3000, great machines.
