  1. You know, when I was first learning computing, back in the 1978-1981 era, *everything* that I cared about was open source.

    We just didn't call it that back in the heyday of 8-bit interpreted languages.

  2. @rick @Alyzande The #Atari400 is the first computer I ever used. My dad was one of Atari computer lab managers at the junior high he taught at. He brought Atari 400 and 800 systems home, along with games on tape(!) drive. Eventually he bought an #Atari1200XL

    The #Atari800 system here came with three disk drives and three tape drives. Not sure what I’m going to do with them yet, but just imagine how many games I could pirate for all my friends!

    I’m Jez from the #UK. I’ve been employed as a #SoftwareEngineer since 1994 in a variety of companies. I have also made #iOS games and contributed to #OpenSource Projects including #Groovy

    I was inspired to code on the #Atari400 in the early 80’s, followed by the #BBCMicro #AmstradPCW #Amiga #PCXT and #486 PCs, I still use most of these and the #FPGA #retrocomputing remakes

    I also design #MechanicalPuzzles, and enjoy the theory and technique behind #CardMagic

    Cheers
