How did you get into U-boats (everyone please post)

I can't really remember what sparked my interest in U-boat sims. All I can remember was that my first sub game was 'Sub Hunt' on the Intellivision. I must have been hooked because later I bought 'Gato' for the Macintosh. Then I got Silent Service, and then Aces of the Deep. After that I was well and truly hooked. I think a lot of the appeal for me comes from my interest in geometry - plotting courses is fun for me. The other thing that keeps me interested is the relative slow pace. My other interest is flight sims, and they are usually fast and frantic, so U-boats are a nice change of pace.
