Not just the Demoscene! Also the Twentse Krentewegge, the best sweet bread of the world. My mom (krentewegge) and myself (demoscene) are equally thrilled.

> the best sweet bread of the world Yeah, right, let's just ignore panettone exists for a moment.

  They compete in different leagues, panettone is a seasonal sweet bread, krentenwegge is a daily sweet bread

    So, where should one eat the best krentenwegge in the World, presumably in (which place in) the Netherlands? I have good information that the best panettone could be at the Pasticceria Roletti, in San Giorgio Canavese, in northern Piedmont.

      Any bakery in Twente

      Bakkerij Nollen in Enschede is somewhat famous, but to be honest it’s going to be “lekker” ar most bakeries… enjoy with a cup of coffee and spread a bit of butter on it for the perfect experience

  This is basically the FT2 vs IT debate all over again. (FastTracker is better though)

    Every tracker is a good tracker. Now go make a game in ZZT.

The Twentse Demoscene was awesome, but very small. As far as I knew, I was the "only coder in the village" :) I remember going to copy parties from The Raven (1992?), cycling 10 km with ~100 floppy discs, wondering whether some bit would shake off whenever I hit a bump in the road. I still get goosebumps when I think of the time when some guy from a nearby city demoed his own Adlib player and 60fps flat shading 3d renderer! Meeting people in person to share code (or to keep it secret), reading paper magazines (Dr Dobbs) buying books on holidays (PC Intern anyone?, Ferraro, Foley), ah those were the days :)

  > PC Intern anyone?, Ferraro Still on my bookshelf. Also Messmer (The Indispensable PC Hardware Book) and ofcourse the Abrash books. The late 80s & early 90s where a great time growing up in The Netherlands if you were a computer/pc nerd. :)
