He's a computer legend, didn't you know? He was in on the "ground floor"
of the PC revolution in Australia. It was just a shame he was 5 years
old at the time.

The only place you're a legend is in your lunchbox.

Everywhere else you're a total fraud.

Lying again!

Tsk tsk NoddyLiar... I'm no legend, all I did was post some hard
historical evidence to prove *you* certainly weren't part of the PC
revolution as *you* had claimed and that it was just more
self-aggrandising bullshit from you. That's not hard, I've done that
many times - you make that part easy.

You just hadn't counted on anyone in here knowing the history and being
able to spot your nonsense from a mile away and correcting you with some
hard facts :-)

Does it matter?

All I have to do is say "the sky is blue today" and they're off ranting
about whatever bullshit they like. They swallow better than a 20 buck
hooker looking for her next fix :)

As I've said, 10 year olds in tree houses and all that.

Nope, but clearly 'silly cunt''O "googley" doesn't recognise it when

He's a legend in his own narcissistic personality disorders seems

You could put a stop to it any time you like Fraudster. Crikey! You've even
got options!

Option A: You could follow the advice you've frequently given to people
who've complained about your rancid behavior and piss off. Or;

Option B: You could stump up with some proof of your Big Claims.

But you won't do either of those will you hypocrite, and ***EVERYONE***
knows why.

“At the end of the day it is Oz and Oz alone who makes the claims about
himself, and the onus to prove them rests with him. Doing so would be such
a simple affair and it would shut up every single one of his detractors
around here for good, but that's *not* what he wants. He craves attention,
and as long as he does all you'll keep hearing from him is unconfirmed
fantasy and fairytales.” Fraudster, 21/12/07
