Might as well admit that I walked the same path. After dad built his own computer around 1982 I was hooked and when he later got a C64 I was digging myself into BASIC and 6510 assembler. Then A500, then A4000, then I cracked and got a PC. :( Fredrik
Similiar : 1983 - C64 as input and tiny portable printers with RS-232 could print cool 15 meter banners from a manual's example . Bizarre and foggy but I seem to remember recording the custom print programs to audio cassette (no hard-drive) and then playing them back the next day for engineers and technicians . Needless to say they were blown away, and that we had a ton of fun creating all kinds of wild patterns and words on those cheap 3 colour pen printers . garry
