Hello cbm-hackers,
may I introduce myself. My name is Wolfgang Moser,
Womo for short and quite a dozen of you here
should already know me from other places, c.s.c
for example.
I am mainly interested in the C64 home computer,
this is what I was coming from. In 1996 I became
something that I would call a "transfer guy", thus
my interests changed into how to transfer stuff
from the Commodore side to other systems. Into
disk images and other container formats. I made a
life with helping Joe on his Star Commander
(testing) and created my own tool, 1581-Copy as a
very special transfer method.
In 2002 or so I got back to another main interest
regarding the C64 home computer: Hardware stuff. I
investigated a hardware speeder system called
Professional-DOS and created some subprojects out
of this, most of them ars still work in progress
(slow, very slow progress). Other hardware topics
got added like disk drive RAM expansions and so.
Recently I got accquainted to the OpenCBM project
with a similar job as years before with The Star
Commander: Testing again, but I started program-
ming some own tools on top of the OpenCBM-API.
In the past I was some sort of passive member to
this list only by frequently reading the archives.
From time to time I asked Marko, Nicolas or Spiro
to post a message, when I had the feeling that I
had to tell you something important.
The reason, why I never became an active memeber
was that I don't feel comfortable with the
handling of mailing lists in general. I prefer
other techniques and UIs like e.g. newsgroups.
Recently some other member of this list helped me
out of this conflict. He created some other sort
of UI to interact with mailing lists and created
some sort of gateway to exchange messages.
He may want to explain you more about this off
topic technique.
Along with the technical possibility to exchange
mails between the systems there was an agreement
between both list managers about the exchange,
therefore I _am_ a registered user with a valid
reply address known to at least one of the
maintainers.
Womo
