Hello Miss Amp, I just finished reading your review of the Bodenstandig 2000 concert in London. Even though you were quite frank regarding the looks of Bernhard and Dragan (it's "Dragan", not "Dragon"), I fully agree with the artistic judgement you passed. Being a freind of Bernhard for many years and knowing him from the late 1970ies/early 1980ies on, I need to correct you in one statement: You write: "these 39-year-old computer geeks were proper men when Atari came along" Bernhard an I met as pupils on a student's exchange to England (sic!), to Poole Harbour to be precise. The ZX81 was well around back then (even though Bernhard did not own one), and the Commodore VIC20 (as it was called in the UK) was available but extremely expensive. In Poole Harbour, we saw our very first Apple Lisa - a machine probably nobody remembers anymore. In that very same town was a computer store were we met almost every day to play the latest games on a VIC20. Shortly after that visit, Bernhard got his first VIC20, which was shortly after followed by a Commodore 64 which I mamaged to talk my parents into about a year later. In my hometown - Trier, at the river Mosel, about 60km away from where Bernhard lived - we saw our very first Atari computer with the GEM user interface. The store had it brand new and had no applications running it, so we only admired its speckless, sharp, non-flickering user interface. Bernhard fell instantly in love with it, and about a year later he owned one. However, we were far from "proper men" back then. Bernhard was always the oldest of our group, but he - too - was a kid, a teenager at best. We were a bunch of 15, 16, 17 year old computer geeks. Probably among the first computer geeks at all in Germany. And even if we might have seemed adolescent on the outside, on the inside we were - and still are - kids. Kids with a background. Kids with some life experience maybe. But still kids. Kids that like to play. In love, 8bit!
