    basic, on one of these[^] circa '81 till about 4 weeks later when we got banned from using it by my dad (was about 6 then). Amazing what you can do with IF, READ, GOTO and ECHO.

      Shame on you. Just researching Metro Design Language and converting a large app to take advantage of it. God I don't get tired of programming esp. for doing it since I was a kid.

      Eh, you will eventually... Just in the past couple years, I've started getting to the point where I'd rather watch TV than write code. Sad, but true. That's why I'm trying to design a game to write, so I can push my brain back into "Programming ~= Fun" territory.

      Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                        I also recall at some stage, I think a year or so later, I got a ZX spectrum or 80 (the small one). It was highly entertaining when I manage to change the text from 'STOP THE TAPE' to STOP THE SHlT' to display on the TV. Provided endless laughs for me and my sister till we somehow broke it 2 months later. Needless to say, my dad did not think it was good thing for us to touch computing devices. Then many years later after university, I rediscovered my lost love :)

                                  I was talking to my dad not too long ago and he still has a Vic 20 that he used to pull pictures from his ham radio that were transmitted by Voyager as it passed by Saturn, I think. Might be Jupiter.
