Nice read! And welcome to Ron! I too, started with BASIC, but on a
Commodore 64 :)
Thanks, Steve.
Just to set the record straight, I only had access to that Coleco Adam
for the few weeks I was in that Newfoundland outport. Within a year, I
too had my very own C-64 plugged into a monster Zenith console job.
Remember those? I don't remember what I paid for a used C-64, but the
Zenith 26" was $5 at a garage sale up the street and another $5 for
delivery.
I had to use my parents' TV in the living room :) And I was made to
learn typing before I could play games on it, so cruel...
