Changes

Hi, I am Dimitrios Karalis and I am very happy being part of the CPCWiki community. I live in Athens and I was born in 1974. During the period 1987-1995 I developed several applications for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128. To name a few[[Image: Hotel Manager, Technical Dictionary, CPCWrite, Basket Game Monitoring Tool, Music Metronome, Doctor's Database and Mission1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll)MyCPC. However, I never managed to release any of them! I was also a big fan of Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32). Nowadays I have a 6128 with a CTM and GT monitor, a double 3.5”/5.25” floppy drive unit, ParaDOS, X-DDOS and R-DOS ROMs, Dobbertin 512 KB RAM expansion, an EPSON LX printer, an AMX mouse, a RS232C (6128 connected with a Windows 7 laptop), a KONIX Joystick and a reset button. In 2005 I released my first demo, the Monkey Island 2 (see cpcrulez.fr), a 600 KB screen demo on the basis of the well known famous adventure game. I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos for the jpg|right|thumb|250px|My CPC (these are what make the difference!). still fully active]]

I live in Athens and I was born in 1974. In my opinion, the CPC6128 was the 8-bit micro with the '''biggest potential''' because of its CP/M-80 business applications, its colorful overscan games/demos, its powerful Locomotive Basic and its expansion capabilities. Inspired and motivated by the greek Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32, CAT problems), I still develop programs for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128 just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems. I use COSMOS on an everyday basis to monitor my budget and On File to monitor the maintenance of my car. I prefer single tasking computers because they allow you to focus on your work without being distracted by messages, emails, reminders, notifications, other processes etc, etc.  My CPC releases pertain to: 2005, The [[The Monkey Island II Demo]] demo (AmsDOS). <br> 2005-2021, [[Cosmos|COSMOS]], the personal cost monitoring system, which runs under also includes [[ASCII Tools]] (128 KB CP/M 2.2). <br> 2024 June, [[On File]] database management system, 50 years anniversary of CP/M-80 was my biggest project for the CPC. Its final version (v128 KB CP/M 2.272) was released in November 2021. My fyture plan is to release a RAM based database for the <br>2024 June, [[No One Like You Demo]], 40 years anniversary of CPC (AmsDOS). <br>2025, June, [[On File]] and On File Register (CP/M-80.plus).A database that also contains field-based graphics.
