My trs80 coco was a life changer. Learned to code from the book. Still coding

That is exactly how I got my start with computers!

I learned BASIC by typing programs from magazines on a TRS-80. Oh, Hamurabi…pic.twitter.com/FuYDoN8YT1

You haven't lived if you never had to rewind and replay an entire cassette tape due to a CRC error

That was my very first PC. Didn't sleep for over a week. Programming in Basic. Connected an Olivetti. Worked like a charm.

I owned one of these.
-
I wrote a first-person maze game on it. Yes, on the 4K one.
-
Required a neat hack: when you quit one program and loaded another off the tape, it would save the variables from the first code.
-
So you could load the maze data into the only array, A[], and then load the game code off a second tape, fitting all into 4K.
-
Took maybe a minute to render a frame in the lo-res block graphics.
-
But it worked!

Computers have evolved a lot since then. Humans have remained the slowest in loop coz they still figure out what is to be solved, and how.
