I got started on a CPC with Locomotive BASIC before upgrading my system with disk drive, 256KB RAM pack, ROMS, and CP/M 2.2 and then 3.0. Sought out CP/M because of the amount of free software already available. Programmed in BASIC, BCPL, and eventually C (not a great fit for the Z80). It’s hard to express the value of this learning experience to young users today.
