I had my VIC20 as a hand me down from an auntie who came to visit from Paris. All the manuals were in French, not that English would have helped me at the time. C64 was king back then so I only had 1 game on a tape, and later another my friend found at a bargain bin and nicked it for me (still have those). So the only thing I could do is learn how to program. Having a computer that is old and "useless" for the times, is actually a benefit. I'm sure it has a lot to do with what you do now. I think you most definitely experienced what I did, just on a different platform.
- Exuma 3y agoI do remember a funny memory where some time later I found an old laptop in the trash. It was black and white, I have no idea what it was. I think it looked something like this, but even older looking than this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/IBM_ThinkPad_720C.jpg/220px-IBM_ThinkPad_720C.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/IB... and it had nothing on it except a PDF reader or something, so I would pretend to write important documents and turn it on and off many times throughout the day because I couldn't really do much else with it, and I was running on fumes as far as using my imagination as there was literally -nothing- on it. And yes, had a huge part of who I am today
