Hej from Sweden - mswidi - 13-03-2026
I got my first computer Vic 20 - which wasnt so incredibly fun. It was when I convinced my father to buy a second hand Microbee 32 IC i got into programming, Basic, a little Forth and Z80....
The nostalgia of the old days in the late 1980 will always follow me....

Welcome - yes, I'm sure many of us are here for the Nostalgia!
In the 80's I was the treasurer of the high school computer club - and it focused on Microbee's (Starnet with 64k workstations)
I had started to learn Pascal, Fortran and Cobol in my own time - and quickly became fascinated by being able to make calls to the CP/M operating system - and wrote my own very basic CP/M utilities.
The community here are very friendly and helpful - although a little quiet from time to time.
