Wir haben Computer geliebt, leidenschaftlich gerne mit ihnen gespielt und an ihnen herumgeschraubt. Wir hatten die c't abonniert, obwohl wir nicht die Hälfte ihres Inhaltes verstanden haben, haben versucht, mit Turbo Pascal oder Ähnlichem selbst kleine Programme zu schreiben. Begeistert nicht nur von Computerspielen, sondern vor allem auch von der Technik dahinter. Ende 2000 saßen wir deshalb staunend, mit offenen Mündern vor unseren Monitoren.

...to strive for a structureless group is as useful, and as deceptive, as to aim at an "objective" news story, "value-free" social science, or a "free" economy. A "laissez faire" group is about as realistic as a "laissez faire" society; the idea becomes a
