I learned to code by transcribing code for the Acorn Electron (which I didn't own or have access to) from teletext onto paper !
What I didn't know at the time was that some of it was encoded so that say "#" would mean "print", I didn't find out until the internet came along and I read stuff like the link [1] for nostalgia.
I still have a BBC computer and Cub RGB monitor - I have an SD card adapter for it nowadays. I have a BBC Forth ROM chip in it and so I have a Forth Machine at the flick on a switch with a built in A/D convertor, Speech Synthesis also in ROM and a 1Mhz interface bus. Pretty cool gadget still.
