I wasn’t bad with programming BASIC, but the true epiphany came when I went on vacation to Spain (very common for UK kids). I took the programmers reference manual which not only had info about BASIC, which I already understood, but it incl

The processor in the 1541 was identical to the c64… 6502. (Or 6510C) The serial link between them was notoriously slow. I studied them extensively as a teenager, and had reams of disassembly printed out in fanfold dot matrix, with my own sc

The 2p coin should have gone a long time ago. It’s exactly the same weight as 2 1p coins. It’s huge though. I also have a big problem with the pound coin... it’s far too heavy.
