And what a glorious, joyous life it was! I'm proud of having been a software pirate. It was a great time, especially if one was a computer enthusiast like I was. 1987 on a Commodore64. If you were into computers, probably the only other place better than that was on UNIX, but no teenager in Europe heard of UNIX until the mid '90's, and then we went straight onto Sun Microsystems Solaris. 1993 and the first machine was a SPARCStation 20 with 256 MB of RAM, four processors and 40 GB of disk. We were so very, very fortunate.
And then came the Amiga (after Commodore64, but before Suns). If the atmosphere was phenomenal before, the joy now became stratospheric with what we could do on that machine. Sun systems were of course on a whole new plane of existence compared to the Amiga we knew and loved.
