So many constraints on computers in the 80s. But so much fun trying to get close to what we had in our heads!

Big nostalgia for that era. Everything was limited, but everything seemed possible.

What got me into computers was:

A = 1; B = 5; C = A+B : C= 6

But:

A = "firstname"; B = "lastname"; C = A+B : C="firstnamelastname".

I dont know why but I still remember the revelation.
