Thanks! As a sidenote, Michael has also been interviewed by the Italian podcast "Archeologia Informatica". The Interview is very long (almost two hours!), in English, and can be found on Spotify, or here: https://www.spreaker.com/user/runtime/a ... b=messages

Thank you Robert, it was an interesting reading (although some points were covered quite the same way on Giacomo Vernoni's book).

Since Tomczyk repeats so often that he is glad to receive mails from past and present Commodore users, one of these days I have to put down a pair of lines. Does anybody know where his e-mail address can be found?

Well, he is on Facebook, usually posting to the Commodore International Historical Society page. If you are on Facebook, you can message him.
