I remember a lot of things, since I've been coding since about 1979 or so. That's a long time, and I had numerous different "computers" like the TI-99/4A (anyone remember those?) and at one time an Atari 800 I believe. Back then the Commodore was the big deal for most people, but I just couldn't afford one! My buddy had one, but even though I was smarter than he was, he never let me touch it. I guess he didn't want the humiliation.. he he. My first "real" computer was in 1991, a 30386/DX running at 40 BIG mhz. I never owned a printer until about 15 years ago or so, so I really only worried about being able to read the code on the screen.
