 Likes:
   sporting - only in netsurfing
   organized - in the Amiga Modula and Oberon Club (AMOK)
   culturally interested - sometimes there are good movies in the cinemas
   meditating - is how the Amiga sometimes presents itself when programming
   amateurish - splattering innocent paper with an airbrush
   no more time - for producing strange video clips
   awarded with a prize - at several masquerades (look at the second photo)

   Internet, Fax, ...) and for delightful hours with LaTeX and friends.
