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. |

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. |

It's a pitty. Andreas being too enthusiastic about his hobby. Bite the bullet and go on. |

Releasing a PDF could still get Andreas into serious legal troubles. I'm sure you'll front his legal fees, Groepaz, right? |

wait, wait wait...
was Morpheus going to use the actual music notes in the book?
whatever... actually I don't even care - just wondering, but have to agree with Greopaz (which is mega difficult in itself) that IP and copyright BS is something that kills kool initiatives like this one for, way too many times... |
