The Commodore 64

Like most of you, growing up in the 1980’s was a fun time for a kid, to be growing up.

I grew up in a village called Tadley, in Hampshire, where I was lucky enough to have, a couple of software companies, right on my doorstep.

One was Llamasoft (Jeff Minter), and the other company was, Interceptor Micros.

My first introduction, into a personal computer, was the Commodore VIC 20. This is where I first attempted, to try my hand at computer programming. It was in the form of a programming language, called “BASIC”.

It taught me the fundamentals of computer programming, from an early age, which are still with me, to this day.
