Then, finally, I had saved enough money to buy an Amiga 500. However, I used the C16 for two and a half years. It had a good BASIC interpreter and a built-in machine language monitor, and it had a reset-button! 😉 Of course, it was very limited compared to the C64, and there weren’t many good games.

I unwrapped it full of anticipation, saw the Commodore-Logo and… it read Commodore 16 ! Can you imagine my disappointment? Man, I got the laughs from all my schoolmates on my side. Then on Christmas, there was a huge present under the Christmas tree. I had a classmate with a VIC-20 and his father, who was a sales representative for a HiFi-Stereo company, talked to my parents and organized a Commodore-computer with a big discount. I urged and begged my parents, but they couldn’t afford buying one. I quickly wanted “more” – there was that awesome computer a few guys from school had: The Commodore 64. When I was 10, my cousin gave me his Sinclair ZX81, which I fooled around with, typing BASIC listings and stuff. – Ok, then let’s start right from the very beginning. – Let’s start from your early days, shall we? I have a hunch that you have a long story to tell, about your very first Amiga years ! Do you want to share with us some “relics” from the past? Two years ago, I took a few piano lessons to finally learn notes and stuff, but it was quickly clear that was wasted effort. But I compensate that by memorizing the pieces. However, since I was 20 or so I play in bands, and every once in a while I feel like I’m a bit stuck because I cannot read sheet music.
When I got older, I didn’t feel like taking lessons, but I taught myself to play the piano and keyboards. But I was very early fond of black and white keys – my uncle had a home organ, and there’s a story still told in my family that I tried to play on it before I could even walk. As a child, I did not have the opportunity to take music lessons. I enjoyed the other SID-Adventures, that’s quite a great company you put me in! My family status is ‘Al Bundy’ – married with children… 😉 Outside the scene, I work as a systems administrator and network engineer. So, I just started composing on the SID, some months ago. I’m 42, and thought this is the perfect age for finding the answer to life, universe and everything: It’s the C64! 😉 I’am known in the C64 scene as c0zmo, or let’s put it this way: I hope I will be known as c0zmo! 🙂 – Hi George, and a big Hello to all readers! I’m Markus from Germany.
– Hi Markus ! We are all so glad having you here ! Could you please introduce yourself to our readers? (Name, studies, current job, etc)
