I'd ask Jerkin Often if he knows if Johnny comes lately. |

Did he say whether he was pre- or post 1990?
Did he mention any groups he was in or had contact with?
Did he name drop The Bandit or Candyman or anyone?
I've never heard of the guy, but 1986-1989 was my time. He might have been before or after that though.

Meh, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. His claims of "elite" are a bit dubious (as POW has only one credit) and he is not even listed in the member roster... but it doesn't really matter. The NTSC scene was vastly larger than what is evidenced here on this database.
Next time you talk to him, ask him if he still has his disks. Tell him that there are quite a few people out there who would LOVE to get a former NTSC scener's collection for preservation purposes.

He said he went to Amiga about 1990. I got 2 a500 and 2 a2000 systems from him today with at least 1500 disks. I didn't see any 5.25 disks in his stuff. He says he has a lt. Kernal that he ran a board on but we couldn't find it today. That lt kernal may be loaded with ntsc warez if it can be found.

Cool! Perhaps you should steer him here so he can add stuff that he knows about his corner of the "scene".

I'd love to see some of the Nashville local scene stuff if there's any in that collection. (Amiga, too) |

This will be total offtopic but I found that subject while searching for How to PAL/NTSC in code ;). Jonny Come Lately it's a great song from Skeptics band :). That's all I want to say in that subject which I'll opened thinking that somebody want to say something about this band maybe :D ;).

He never produced that lt kernal so by default I declare him FOS.

Johnny Come Lately was legit. I knew him personally and the Lt Kernal drive you were speaking he did have at one time because I stashed that fucker before I got physically arrested. That was the 20meg drive that I had on Ninja's Realm. Just found this site yesterday I will make a thread in the forums here it would be nice to talk to some people that I haven't talked to in over 25 years. I know since the post I am responding to it really doesn't matter now but just clarifying that Johnny Come Lately was legit and a good dude and also he wasn't lying about it I am sure.

Quoting King DurinI just met a guy who claims he was an elite scener out of Nashville, TN, USA named Johnny Come Lately. anyone ever heard of him or is he full of shit? Do you often meet self-proclaimed former "elite sceners" who come up with a fake nickname and an invented story that purportedly happened 30 years ago? |

Hi Ninja,
welcome here! I have now created an entry for Johnny Come Lately - please add as much information as possible (his functions, groups he was in, etc).
Cheers,

I don't want to speak ill of him as he seems like a nice guy who's down on his luck. I was skeptical because of the claims he was making and not being able to produce the warez he claimed to have. Then when nobody on here had heard of him it kinda solidified for me that he was either a fraud or a hanger-on that tried to build himself up higher than he really was. Nobody in the scene has ever done that, right? I am glad he turns out to be legit. As I said, he's a nice guy. |
