 Re: A Small Correction

You know, it might of been me who said Brigitte was his wife. Or maybe many of us have believed this. I was 14/15 years old at the time and in a respectful way - such awesome coding came from an older person.

It wasn't until the internet really took off did we find out that many coders were in fact around the same age, even younger. From Mike Dailly, Jeff Minter, Darron Broad and even David Whittaker we are all from the same age be it a couple of years between us. Back in the 80's Rob Hubbard's influence had already taken hold of me so I knew who he was long before. Rob was in many magazines of the day, and yes he is very much older than my self.

This had me thinking all the cleaver people making these games were older as I was brain dead! happy

Even Jeff Minter looked much older back int he 80's than he did early 2000, thinking back. It was the beard.


So she was Undo's sister. WOW! happy

 A Small Correction

RĂ¼diger pointed out this German forum topic to me (link to Google translate):
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/board314-au-erhalb-des-c64/board13-sonstige-commodore/board14-c16-c116-plus-4/17052-udo-gertz-kingsoft/

The last one is the relevant one, especially this bit: "... but someone said earlier, the role played by Brigitte. That was one of his sisters. He had two sisters. The one who helped him with the Music Tunes." Apparently our site said she was his wife. I honestly can't remember where that piece of info came from... But now we know happy
