This is the homepage of Anders Karlsson, by some and many called Pugo. Those pages are mainly focused around my collection of old computers and videogames, but do also contain photos from travels and parties and some personal information as well. Many of my photos come from musical events and festivals, mostly focused around industrial music.
All the year - and especially now - I long for the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig. My plans are to go there also this year. Hope to see all the wonderful people I use to meet there also this year! And there will be pictures in the photo gallery as always!
I currently work at Opera Software, in Sweden, and it rocks!
Once again, welcome to my world!

One of my strange interests is my collection of old vintage computers and video games. I hope you visit my collection pages to see some of the machines I play and live with!
One important reason why I collect is nostalgia. When I was a young boy I one day got in contact with a Luxor ABC 80 computer at a local radio amateur club. I was astonished by the machine and started to read everything I could find about computers. Of course I wanted one of my own. My parents understood that I was seriously interested and strangely, at christmas time that year, they started to ask questions about the computers on the market. I remember when I visited the computer shops with my parents, wandering around among tables with different computer systems. There were many different types, and I was wanted them all! At christmas eve the moment I'd been waiting for was finally reality! I got my first home computer, an Oric-1 48K, and it was beautiful! I remember that for about a week I used to sit up in bed before falling asleep, just to assure me that it really was there!
Every time I find one of those machines that I read about in the computer magazines as young boy, or longed for at the computer shops, the same feeling as the one that christmas eve 1982 appears. Sometimes I even sit up in my bed to assure me that one of those old relics I've dragged home really is there!
