My first computer used a television hookup for a display and a cassette recorder to load programs. Unlike now, we had a choice of 16 colors, and the pixels seemed as big as my fist. It taught me the fundamentals of BASIC programming, though. There was no other way to enter programs other than to type them out, usually from magazines.

Me too. Did you ever try to listen to the data tapes through a stereo?
