More and more classmates had Amigas, and I wanted one too. The Amiga arrived around April 1991, and while the Atari ST remained the programming machine, the Amiga became the creative hub: ProTracker for music, Deluxe Paint for graphics. I also released a few things under the Esprit label: ESPRIT releases.

1992-1994: The PC arrives

-

Christmas 1993 brought a Vobis Highscreen 486 DX2-66 in its distinctive Colani tower case. The PC opened the door to DOS games, and in 1994 the real creative phase began: DOSMENU, the SkyLine demo group, and the first modem connecting to the outside world.

1994-2000: The Fido era

A modem in spring 1994 led to the FidoNet world, and by late 1995 I was running my own BBS node. Through the mid-90s I collected old and new machines enthusiastically, building up a collection that lasted until 2005 when most of it was sold off. By 2000, the FidoNet hobby had quietly faded.
