The Dark Side

Post by Vic20-Ian »

Old evidence of a vic owner crossing to the dark side of Your Sinclair...for a badge! LOL

POINT-LESS
I will get straight to the point, as I feel that a letter should always be right to the point with no beating about the bush so to speak - or write - so here it is - the point of the letter, that is (Get on with it. Ed).
I am a Vic 20 owner and am intending to send it to you bit by bit, piece by piece, if you don't send me a badge. I must warn you that I own a fair bit of software for the Vic, and having that sent to you in the post all the time is not a nice thing to happen, I can tell you. To prove my threat is real, I enclose a Vic 20 program, with the reminder that more will come if you don't do as I ask.

Oh my God! Not the Vic 20 program please. Anything but that! Okay, okay, I'll send you a badge if you promise never to send me anything remotely Vic 20 like again. Ed

I hope the traitor ended up with a Speccy - it would serve him right!

I know Centallica, how could anyone go to the Speccy after having has a Vic?

LOL - this was just a bit of fun having come across it on a Googled YS thread looking for something else.

But do you have that badge sewed onto your pajamas now and strut around the house with pride or shame is the real question here? :wink: :lol:
