  Can we just call Erik's web board the VC
Forum?

 But then you'll annoy venture capitalists -grin-

   Tag dutifully taken!  :p 

 I was hoping the crowd here would automatically know that "VC" mean 
 "Vintage Computer" and not venture capitalists or umm..., anything 
 else.  Outside of here, VC would of course be fair game. 
Irrespective of their interests, I think if you mention VC to anyone in the British
Commonwealth you'll find they automatically think the abbreviation means Victoria
Cross, the highest award for military gallantry. So high that most are awarded
posthumously,. Someone with VC after their name gets a lot of respect here.
