1Wow… Cool. Now if I could find all those old tapes and get the code I wrote at 12 to play Pac-Man animations and create D&D characters, I’m set!

21982?!?!? Damn Andrei how old are you? I was a whopping 2 years old. No programming for me. First it was the Mac SE and now this. Man some people really just have too much time.

3Andrei, didn’t you find programming the Spectrum a painful experience: terrible keyboard, “goto” commands on every other line and the most cryptic error reporting ever to blight the face of computerdom?

4Andrei: Check that site for a link to a site with a whole slew of .z80 game images, everything from A to Z.
Scrivs: In 1982, when I was 12, I got a Commodore VIC-20 for my birthday. I wrote my first “Hello, world!” program in Commodore Basic.
Geez, I’m old.

5Andrei, I’ve got you beat…my first computer was a Timex-Sinclair Z80, you know the one that had to be built from a kit! (Thankfully my dad was a electronics engineer as I was a bit young to be working with a soldering iron!)

6Hmm… 1982 I think I was 5 or 6 and I got a baby sister. I programmed her instead. She will be at the forefront of my imperial army, serving as high priestess to my followers… er… wait, I’m not an Atreides. Strike that.
I think I got my first computer in 85… a TI 99/4a. Cut my teeth on basic… cut ‘em right off! or something like that anyway….
