I started out playing with the school's RML 380Z, a BIG metal box with a Z80 inside that ran CP/M. I moved on to a ZX81, taught myself Z80 and then 6502 on a BBC Micro and then read an article in Scientific American called 'core wars' and that got me hooked. Every time I see a major step forward in technology that thrill returns and I think I'm incredibly lucky to be working in this industry. Hoping to get to see Tron Legacy over the holidays if the snow lets up a bit.
