Commodore 64: For the Love of a Machine

Hey guys!

I'm working on a book called "Commodore 64: For the Love of a Machine" which is a tribute to the Commodore 64, the people who created it, the people who used it, and the people who still use it today. From a scene perspective, there's going to be photos from various events like the X parties, pixel graphics from the likes of Mermaid, Pal and Mirage plus an in-depth interview with Mr.Z.

Most of the content in the book has already been decided upon, but as I will crowdfund it, there's the possibility of more pages. My plan is if lots of sceners support the book, there will be more scene stuff in those extra pages.

My question to you is, what would you like to see on those pages? What I've been thinking about is a special on cracking and I've also been trying to get hold of Crossbow/Crest for an interview (although he seems to have gone into hiding.)

Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in the book and also check out the video teaser I released today: http://bit.ly/2mN3dWl.

@Acido: That is awesome Acidchild, thank you! :D I really wish I had a team picture of The Transfer Team to put in the book.

@All: This was posted to the Kickstarter backers last Friday:

"These rewards are now available on the campaign site:

1. BOOK + 8 PIECES OF 100 x 150 MM PRINTS
2. BOOK + YOUR OWN DEMO REVIEW
3. BOOK + 3 SIGNED POSTERS BY ROWE/LUND
4. BOOK + SIGNED PHOTOS BY 4 LEGENDS
5. THE GRAND PACK

You'll find more detailed information about each reward in the main text. Please take a look!

I still haven't heard from Rob Hubbard if he's willing to sign the script posters yet, but don't be alarmed. The posters will be available either way after Rob has replied."

Damn it. Seems a few (one?) guy spread some rumours, and was constantly bombing the comments with accusations and stuff for days and days. Might have scared people off.

Not just one person raising these concerns.
The lack of updates didn't help.

Seems there is more to it than that. A representative of Rob Hubbard posted this: http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=780616#780616

Now that is new info. Before that it was just rumours. Still silly crusade by a few backers there. I am sure Rob can talk for himself, and in a more civilised manner than in a public thread - and he did. The issue is of course handled between Rob and Andreas, just as it is supposed to be.

Further information posted on that Lemon thread - the notes were ON LOAN to Morpheus, not given to him.

The people who raised concerns (and that includes me) were right. There was no permission granted to reproduce the notes, in the book or as prints.
