PS: My second "computer" was an Atari. Before that, try a TI4-A with a tape cassette drive, with a Whopping 4K memory. I really learned how to optimize code back then. Managed to get a fully functioning 4-player Monopoly game with board in text characters on that thing.

it was another time. i didn't find this pleasure i had while using intensively the amstrad cpc and the atari st but strangely it's starting to come back with linux. i have the time to test many programs with their source codes. the creativity of some programmers is impressive. for example the emulators of old game consoles or computers...
I'm starting to regret having sold the amstrad cpc and the atari st but it had allowed me to buy a pc.
