You've picked an odd birthday to mention. 
Remember that sample from CU Amiga? (IIRC.) Where he told us how to pronounce his name?
My name is Pe-tro Tysch[ts]-chenko. Hehe.  |

Haha.  But it's no womder. I gave him a floppy disk with about five of my commodities on it. I didn't see it again nor see my commodities in OS3.5. Last edited by Hypex on 20-Apr-2010 at 04:11 PM.

He was fun guy to drink/chat, I've met him at least three times at various Amiga parties. Sadly he was clueless about AmigaOS and Amiga in general. I won't say he was savior of Amiga, but he was fun enough to make its dying easier.
He always carried some "awesome Amiga stuff", I think I still have "powered by Amiga" sticker, mint condition, handed by Petro at Amgia Show'97 in Poland.

Nearly as great as the ultimate Trans-Am

WHAT? I never did! What the hell! I was robbed. 
But we still have "keep the momentum going" poster, with his signature. That's how we met one of our friends. One of us took extra literature lessons and when he entered teacher's home he noticed "Keep the momentum going" poster, he asked if Amiga user lives here, and it turned out that her son is Amiga fan. He're close friends still._________________
