1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

My brother rented a ABC 80 over our summer holidays and that trigged a bit
of the impressed but The real mind boom must have been when he bought a c64.
Must have been 1983 or something.

Commodore 20, c64, amiga 500, amiga 1200, amiga 4000 and all the possible

Probably because I got fascinated by the chip tune I heard in the early

Sound tracker, protracker, future composer, music line, musicx, cubase +

know game musicians is called Marregnon, and now im doing a commercial cd
of my own that I haven't got a name for yet.
