So awesome. The Commodore 64 really did create a whole generation of programmers. There was something so magical about a box that could do wonderful things and sat waiting for you to enter the commands to make it do so.

While there have been awesome improvements in technology it is kind of sad today’s youth don’t really get to explore or understand the devices they have beyond touching a screen.

@davidmwilliams yes it was a magical machine. My first impression was her can I make it do what I want. 🤣

We really had to work for the knowledge. It was not at our fingertips like today. It really sharpened our timing skills

Is that the Windows 11 logo on your screen? You must be a time traveler.

@Lennerd 🤣🤣🤣

That's all good and great. But the ZX Spectrum was better!
