Most likely, he won't even know what a C64 is or a ZX81 [Big Grin]

I built my first Sinclair from a kit. I also built my own EPROM burner for a COCO. EEPROMS came much later. I would erase my EPROMS on a sunny window ledge. It'd take about two weeks on the inside and much faster on the outside.

Dabbled in BASIC but quickly figured out that machine code was where the power was. Then I discovered assembly and thought I was in heaven! Only prob was, I didn't like programming for anyone other than myself, and so ended my career as a programmer.

I totally agree with Jens, the Atari ST was a great machine in it’s day. I started with a 520STFM, moved on up to a 520STE and increased the RAM to a whole 2MB - wow. My first steps with a GUI were made with Hisoft’s Power Basic and GEM. Thanks for the trip down memory lane guys. [Wink]

This thread clearly has nothing to do with the orginal question. Nostalgia, Nostalgia!

I personally started with a C64 which I loved & invested far too much money & time in. I once wrote a dis-assembler for the C64 that was published in the Transactor. (Does anyone rember that magazine?) Last time, I ever used assembler was with a C64 & a PDP 10. My how time changes things & I think many of us on this board are getting long-in-the-tooth.

Hmmm.

My first machine at home was the Vic20, then C64, C128 (with built-in double sided 5 1/4 floppy drive and 80 column screen mode - wow!) then a couple of versions of the Amiga (500 then 1200).

The first program I wrote was for an RML380Z, having taught myself basic from a manual for (I think) a PDP10.

The RML computers were ubiquitous in schools in the UK way back in *cough* *splutter* *mumble*.
