Back then computers came with real manuals and tutorials.
My family bought a 48k ZX Spectrum for Christmas one year, and the tape-deck didn't work. So no games for my sisters and I. Instead I started programming via the orange programming guide/documentation. My sisters lost interest until we could get a working cassette player a few days later.
From BASIC to z80 machine code - again via the documentation - was a great start.
- antirez 10y agoYeah... there was no internet, and in my case, no local group of users, so either the manual or it was impossible to use it :-)
