Hello, Linus. I recently watched your talk 'Poetry for Bugs' and I found it electrifying and quite moving. My sincerest thanks for crafting it and making it available online.

Hi Linus, I saw you first as a very young person, nearly a child, sitting on Mekka Symposium or Breakpoint in a row, dunno... but I remember I thought "hey, a new C64 person is coming to the scene, nice at least a young one again." But then you made it up to coding a demo, coming up to get one of the best, even demystified the VSP Bug which even CountZero wasnt able to explain and then you shocked me with you 256 byte intro. Of course composing your own music to it. Now you even keep yourself interesting with nice hardware hacks.

If the next Revision is taking place in a real environment again I *really* would like to ask you some questions on the campfire and maybe share a beer if you like ;)

Greetings, Thomas

Dear Linus,

Please excuse me if you've answered this question before -- in fact, if you have, if you could point me to the page so as not to waste your time -- but here goes my question:

How in the world did you get involved with a machine (C64) that is obviously older than you are? Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, since we all find affinity with subjects and people and art that precede us. Like it's not a shock when somebody reads Shakespeare for the first time and becomes a Shakespearean scholar, or if a young person discovers a band like New Order (my favorite band) and finds themselves attracted to Blue Monday, circa 1983, forty years later.

But I think it feels different with tech, since tech moves so quickly and by and large, devs prefer the shinier, newer stuff.

So if you ever find the time and the inclination to elaborate upon just how you got into the C64, I'd love to know about it, and I have a feeling many of your fans would, too...

Thank you!

- Sung

Bösendorfer built the first Model 290 in the year 1900 and it was not long before musicians, conductors, and critics affixed the great piano with an
epithet that has endured: "Imperial" derived from the latin Imperare - to order or to command. The Imperial's commanding tonal presence spanning
a full eight octaves, its expressiveness and superb playability set the standard by which other concert grand pianos are judged.
You are listening to Rachmaninov's "Prelude No. 2 in C Sharp Minor" Op. 3, recorded on this piano by pianist Sidney Yin.
