The local RS is what got me into computing in 1981. They let me sit down and type in BASIC programs as long as I wanted, and they didn't need it to show customers. Spent hours there. My first programming "ah hah!" was: let T = T + 1, to count how many times that section of code had been hit.
I've been a software developer professionally since not long after that.
- Corrado 10y agoI have a remarkably similar story! My local RS let me plug away at a CoCo for hours on end. I remember when an older boy showed my friends and I how to use if..then..else. Wow! My head almost exploded. Good times...
