I probably owe Beagle Bros most of the credit for nurturing my lifelong interest in computers. (My father gets the rest for giving me the things in the first place!) How many hours I spent poring through those charts and books of peeks and pokes and two-liners. I want a way to recreate that magic for the youth of today.
I had //e. The only thing I coveted more than a //c was a Laser 128EX/2. (OK and maybe a IIGS and a Mac…)
- gregd 7y agoMe too! They single-handedly got me interested in "making a computer do stuff" with those charts of peeks and pokes! Here I am ~35 years later and I'm still making computers do stuff. Well I started on a TRS-80 but quickly became obsessed when I got my hands on a II plus and then an IIe. I never got to use a //c but remember a friend got one. It was as close to portable as you could get then and I remember wanting one really badly.
