Name: Erik Elgersma
Age: wouldn't you like to know
Also known as: Patient 1027b or Tricky Dickie
Residence: an asylum somewhere in Holland

Before being removed from society for his own safety (offences include shouting "I've got an Amiga, your PCs are useless" at PC shows and conventions) patient 1027b was in his penultimate year of his VWO study at Sancta Maria High School, where he studied Maths, Economics, Accounting, History, Geography, Dutch , English and French. Speculated interests and hobbies include football, horse riding and windsurfing. All we otherwise know of this rogue civilian is that he first owned an Amiga 500Plus in 1995, having been introduced to the Amiga a few years earlier. The user-friendliness and resourcefulness of that little box impressed him so much that the Amiga quickly became a total obsession for him, the A500Plus became an accelerated A1200 and now there's no application left untouched by him and his Amiga. This guy truly is a phenomenon. Although patient 1027b is not dangerous to ordinary members of the public, PC owners better beware and steer well clear of him.
