I make computers that can see and tinker with electronics.
When I'm not toiling in the digital saltmines I make photographs.
I live on a narrowboat with my partner, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits.

mine was the ZX Spectrum 48K, but I later owned the ZX80 and ZX81. Those were the days, when we counted programs in literal BITS of code! It taught me some amazing stuff about management of ram, and making the most of the available usage. I actually had some of my programs etc published in some of the spectrum magazines. back when you would buy a magazine and literally type in the source code from the pages.
Oh, how i reminisce over the tape loading! 30 minutes of ADAC loading (Analogue to Digital Audio Conversion) for a game like paperboy!

I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

You remember the Atari 2600? Not a computer in the sense we know it because the end-user couldn't write software for it, and you got your games on cartridge so they didn't take up any memory - but the machine itself had only 128 bytes of RAM...

Sinclair ZX81 with 1k of RAM. I pimped it up with a 16k RAM pack later on. Happy days!
me too except with 32Ko if not 64Ko can't remember :)
Just remembered the RAM pack came with Velcro to prevent the dreaded "ram pack wobble" which would crash the whole machine.

Typing in code with hieroglyphic REM statements was always a joy...
I stated out with a ZX spectrum 48K as well.
I remember tuning the tape cassette to maximum treble to get it to load the games properly :-)
Same here :)
1k of ram? 1k of RAM? Gsus man, cant even imagine haha. Nice ;P
It was crazy. But somehow it worked!
hahaha

My neighbour had one. Looked like it was partly made of wood. But it was great!
