  1. Wieder etwas aus unserer Retrokiste:

    Wer erinnert sich noch an Freeware oder Shareware? An die Listings, die in verschiedenen Zeitschriften abgedruckt waren und die man selbst seitenweise in den Rechner reinhacken musste?
    Wenn man Glück hatte, lag noch eine DOS-Floppy-Disk im Heft dabei und mit noch mehr Glück lies sich diese auch noch einlesen.

    Hier mal ein Beispiel aus den Jahr 1985. Wohl auch schon eine frühe Form vom Opensource Gedanken.

  2. @metin Since you seem interested in graphics, had basically none; single line of 24? chars, until someone found a way to derail BASIC interpreter and access the first columns of pixels.
    You could access pixels natively on , but again display was small. 4 colors plotter was amazing.
    had an interesting font with symbols
    could display 40 or 80 columns text and 2 switchable graphic pages, all ORed together. Could be used for page flipping, etc.

  3. @metin First personal computer I touched in 1980 was a (80-20?), thanks to a high school professor that gave me access to one

    Then I had several computers, a that my father bought, then temporary access to a (with small plotter!), and , thanks to a Sharp reseller (Mr , in ).
    Got my first clone in 1983 or 1984.
