Hi Guys

Post by speedstream »

I am 43. I had my first computer in 1980. I was 7 and it was a ZX81. Three years later, I got a 16ko extension card.

I learnt a lot of things in Basic through my ZX81. I programmed a lot because at that time, it was often necessary to create things from scratch or to reuse pieces from the good work from other programmers. What pleasure it was to finally create something functional. Or something funny and pleasant to use like games. I really discovered I.T. stuff and built my development skill through that computer.

If I can, I will take it back from my parent's home and try to run it again. The problem may more be about the loading/saving process because it gets hard to find a tape reader.

Later, I bought a CPC6128 with its colour monitor. And in spite of the plethore of games we could find for it, I was still spending 70% of my time programming.

If I can found some time for it, I would be interested in finding a Spectrum, Spectrum+ or even a QL in the next months.
For the time being, it's more about emulators ;)

Thanks for accepting me on the forum :)
PS: I apologize for my possible mistakes at English. I am French. Nobody's perfect :)

Do let us know what you get up to with your ZX81. There is also a Spectrum section. Or go to World of Spectrum, WoS forum, or QL Forum :mrgreen:. There is also a CPC wiki and forum :P

But do stick around here as well ;)
