I also started with ZX81. For a while, I didn't have a cable for tape recorder. A couple of magazines came with my ZX. Inside, there were some listings of games in BASIC. So, to play a game, a had to retype the code every time I restarted the computer. After a while, I started changing the code to see what will happen.

That's how I learnt to code.

Yep, it was a great time to be growing up as a kid wasn't it. All through those years of home computers. ZX81-->VIC-20-->C=64-->Amiga 500-->Amiga 1200 (I still have that one).

Progressing from BASIC to Z80 to 6502 to Motorola 68000 to C and so on. Learned Turbo Pascal and COBOL in college. Such nostalgia! :)
