Programming

Ever since my brother and I bought an Acorn Atom in 1981 I have been a programmer.
The Acorn Atom came with 2k RAM (expandable to 12k), had b/w graphics, and ours had a very iffy tape recorder connection. This dodgey connection meant that we couldn't load pre-recorded games! so we spent hours and hours typing in programs from magazines such as BUGBYTE.

We took it turns dictating the code and of course there were loads of mistakes, which is how I learnt to program. 'What happens if you change this bit?' etc etc !

Things have come a long way since those days!

I have since drunk gallons of coffee, lost yards of hair from my head and biten miles off my finger nails programming umpteen lines of code on many different programming projects and platforms.
