I have been close friends with computers since 1989.
At the beginning of my studies I said: "Devil's stuff! Don't let it into my house!" - Well, the head is round so that thinking can change direction! During my semester abroad at the University of Aberdeen I first came into contact with it and was immediately enthusiastic. As soon as I got back I got a job and bought an Atari 1040 ST .
In 1996, I worked for two years on luxembourg telegram screening a pilot project that connected households to the Internet via TV cable and provided them with streaming videos: a good 10 years before YouTube! Digitizing just 15 minutes of video took 24 hours back then and required high-performance workstations from SGI and SUN .
16 – I have spent over 1.5 million euros in my life!
As marketing manager for a city carrier, I had an annual budget of one million German marks at first, then two million in the second year, and I had signing authority for up to 100,000 German marks. That's why I tried out everything that was available in the early 2000s in terms of advertising. Except TV advertising. By the way, spending that much money can mean a lot of work.
