    Hi Dr. Chris. First of all I want to thank you for all of that great Contend which entertains and educate me and many others out there. Back in the days I owned many Amigas (500 / 1200 / 3000) and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately I lost them all, together with many more 8Bit and 16Bit Machines to a fire. Besides all of the great things I could say about your contend there's one thing that bothers me since day one. Why do you always refer to you as an "idiot" when mentioning that you help people without a charge? This should be the way for all of us and it should be praised and promoted and not be refered to as a bad way of doing things !!! Generosity and helping People should be normal and a GOOD thing and not idiotic. I would love you to promote such behavior with words as much as you do with your deeds. Greetings from Germany Dr. Chris.
