Hi Thomas,

hehe, of course I am, but I was not aware that you even collect youtube links in the wiki... Anyway, I was interviewed in Graz 2003, I wonder whether that video exists as well. (That was the first day of the WCCC 2003 where smoking still was allowed at the tables, afaik that interview was one reason why they later forbid it...
