A new article at Low End Mac by the talented Tom Hormby. It begins:
"Michael Spindler was born during the last throes of Nazi Germany. The family was split up before Spindler was born, because his father was forced to work at a munitions plant. The absence of his father during his early childhood appeared to make Spindler even more motivated to prove himself. He excelled in school and graduated from the prestigious Rheinische Sachochschule with a degree in engineering in 1964."
