    ...I'm sure I also mentioned this... But I *DID* record my own voice imitating the loading noise, and try to get the spectrum to load the thing...

    You know when you're a Speccy nut when you're doing a presentation for 100+ people and show slides of your first attempts of making pixelfonts on the Speccy.

    You know you're a Spectrum nut when:

    ... you actually 'listen' to the loading sounds and sometimes if even for a brief moment there is a sound that makes you go, "That sounds just like a part from 'some' song!" or "That sounds musical!".

    You know you're a Spectrum nut when:

    ... and then you try to make loading sounds as close as possible on your electric guitar.

    You know you're a Spectrum nut when:

    ... you actually try to load the simulated loading sound you made onto a Spectrum and you're surprised you are actually getting the initial blue and red stripes and then flabbergasted when you start to get blue and yellow ones and you're wondering what the heck is gonna happen.

    You know you're a Spectrum nut when:

    ... you actually get a Program: ?????????? out of it and some jibberish in the editor before you get a R: Tape Loading Error.

    You know you're a Spectrum nut when:

    ... you get depressed because you were never able to do it again and thought you could actually make a program that made sense, even if it was just 10 REM

    ( no kidding )
