And don't forget Station. The demo Decalogue made a HUGE impression on me
and convinced me to go on writing music. I wanted to be just as good as
Station and Impact. Especially the Impact Housedisks were great. Wow. I also
remember the first time I went to an MSX fair. It was back in 19?? (long
ago). I was a member of the MSX group NMC and our products were
BAD!!!!!!!!!!! I remember to have smoked my first joint at this fair. Snik.
Time does fly
