That was my first real computer as a kid, where I learned basic programming (GFA BASIC!), played my first games. It was such a great machine.

I also love his self-made program with a little map of the camping grounds. Such attention to little details. No wonder he didn't want to give that system up for a newer computer: what for?

same here! such fun! i wrote my first "network" game on the atari st, two machines with crossed midi cables would present arithmetic problems and correct solutions moved avatar cars across both screens.

...because writing a networked computer "game" for learning arithmetic was obviously more fun than doing arithmetic drills.
