Alright - I tried searching so as to avoid asking and looking like an idiot.... But I guess I'll show my ignorance here...

What to the numbers under the usernames mean? I get "newbie", "regular", "demi-god", etc., just can't figure out what numbers like 6502, and 68000 mean...

Problably not the right forum, but I don't frequent any other section, so this is the only place I've noticed...

The numbers come from the increasingly powerful microprocessors used in Apple computers over the years. The 6502 and 658xx are from the Apple II family, 680x0 were used in early Macintosh systems, 601 and beyond are PowerPC chips.

They should come up with more new ones.
Although Apple isnt making CPU's for macs anymore, seeing sigs like
"CD" "C2D" "Ci5" "Ci7" would be cool :D
