| For me the golden era of personal computers. Amiga demos filled

|
| Waiting for the post delivery, hoping that day was the day the
| next package arrived. Clicking the 3.5" disk in and feeling my
| pulse quicken.
|
| Then the day I got hold of the RSI Demo Maker I knew I wanted to
| be a programmer when I grew up.

| And I couldn't agree more - that era was such a carefree and
| imaginative period for many of us, filled with endless
| possibilities. As I approach 55 this year, I fondly look back
| on my programming journey that began in the early 80s. And like
| you, I too have never really grown up - always eager to
| explore, learn new things, and continue dreaming.
|
| I believe maintaining this youthful mindset and spirit is
| essential for staying vibrant and engaged in life. Cheers to
| never growing up!
