Ah, the memories. I remember writing programs in BASIC on my old Commodore Vic 20 (hooked up to a 12-inch black and white TV, and a tape recorder to save programs).

Mine was a Timex Sinclair 1000, BASIC, hooked to the same peripherals. It had a whopping 1K memory.

That was my 2nd computer I ever used. The first is the commodore PET. It had black keys though.



I went to a small private religious school. The computer was so valuable they had a church member build a wooden box and put it in. When not in use the door was closed and the thing was locked with a small padlock.

A buddy of mine was taking a programming class in the early 80s. He used to bring over the audio cassettes and we'd play them on the stereo. wEiRd sOuNdS! <|:)~
