Hi, handle's Tygra,
Grew up in the 80s like many who love this era of technology. School's had lots of apple //e's, and I first encountered them in the 3rd grade. I was instantly hooked. Got a book from the library called "Apple Basic Made Easy" and taught my self to program Basic. I didn't have a computer at home, so I was dependent on library time on one. I wrote programs even at home on paper until I could get to school and type them in and run them.
I was good at Basic, but there was this mysterious language called Machine Language I couldn't understand. I found a job opportunity where I could program in assembler, and I took it, but it was for IBM machines for the government. Did that job for 20 years. I miss the 80s, so I got of the ultimate C64's. That's the very very short version.
So, even if I was a apple kid, I see the C64 as a close cousin I never got to know that I am now becoming acquainted with. I can appreciate the nostalgia and feels that drive the enjoyment of these classic computers. When I was a kid, I wanted to program assembler, and I hope to pick up that childhood dream using this classic looking system with all the modern features.
