Goes by Ken or The Commodore Man, because he loved Commodores. I’ve
been trying to search for someone who knew this fellow or encountered
him... Thanks!

Not my friend, was the programming mentor of. Friend. He’s been dead
since the early 2000s, I believe.

It’s alright. I never knew the guy. Just really interested in him
after a buddy digitalized some cassette “letters” this dude sent to
him for me.

Check out Lemon64, CSDB, or english amiga board.. thats where most of
those guys hang out these days.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 00:10

Thanks! I appreciate it!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 00:16

I apologize for asking, but I’m rather new to forums and such. Where
would the most appropriate place to post that be? On the Amiga board.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
lucidphreak · 2020-08-25 01:12

It would be fine to post it there or on lemon64 or on the cs.db
forums... they all three have a huge c64 population..

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 01:15

I don’t think so, on the c64 part, because people always made fun of
him for using the Commodore 64, thus his nickname. I’ll try tho

----------------------------------------------------------------------
lucidphreak · 2020-08-25 01:17

Well was he just a user or was he in the warez/demo scene ?? If he was
just a user and wasnt on bbs’s or did anything to make a name for
himself then yea, you’re probably SOL ... good luck though..

----------------------------------------------------------------------

He used New Zealand BBS’s. And ran his own. Called it The Shed BBS, I
believe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
lucidphreak · 2020-08-25 01:19

Then you have a chance!! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 01:23

Found out they have info on him:
[turns out he went by Steiger](https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=17824)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
lucidphreak · 2020-08-25 01:23

Hey kick ass!!! Im glad I could help my friend.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 01:24

Thanks yeah. It started when his buddy sent me digitalized versions of
tapes he sent to him. Like conversations. Real interesting dude. Now I
can do more research on him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foriest_Jan · 2020-08-25 01:41

Does the name “Comic Relief” (a digital zine’ ran on BBS I think) ring
a bell?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
lucidphreak · 2020-08-25 01:42

Negative.. but textfiles.com, run by jason scott should have any and
all zines that came out in the last 30 years lol.. but nah, ive not
heard of it.
