Dave Collier and his 'boys'

[Mark Jones Junior]

I'm REALLY not insinuating anything untoward here but what was that all about? DC always seemed to have some teenage boy working with him who was a 'trainee'. IIRC they always biked to work and wore tight cycling shorts to and from work which they would then have to 'change out of' after arriving.

I remember one was called Darren. Simon Butler caught him in 'mid cycling short change' and was walking round the corridors proclaiming "I've seen Dazza's dick!"

One of them was setup to do the 64 mastering after Bill Barna left (he didn't even own a computer, nor programmed in his life) and was expected to decipher Bill's terse 6502 and modify it accordingly) - I ended up writing the loader for Allan's Athena and then every other loader on the 64! Gah!

Dave still drops me the occasional line from his home in Oz... I must tell him about this!
