14 years ago, I met Ralph Baer in Pirmasens, where he donated one of his brown boxes to the museum there. I was so nervous, it was my first in-person interview with someone famous, but he was so calming and just all around a great man to talk to. In fact, when he noticed how nervous I was, he started asking me some questions to bring me on track. And though I was there to write an article for a small magazine, he took me as serious as the journalists from the big media houses. He never asked how large the circulation was. It was a great experience and I am glad that I left a day at the university to meet him.
