My father was an electronics teacher and in the early years of computers, he had a huge interest in these "things". So the first computer came along at the end of 1979. I was 12 years old at the time. It was a Tandy TRS-80 model 1.
My LEGO blocks were put aside and from then on I programmed BASIC. After the TRS-80 Model 1 it became a Model 3 and finally a Model 4.
After the TRS-80 came the MS-DOS PC with GWBASIC, QuickBASIC and Visual Basic (for Windows). I also learned machine language on the Z-80 (TRS-80) and the 80x86 on the XT and AT PC's.
Meanwhile, I no longer program.
Early 2022 I discovered QB64 and program a bit as a hobby.
Hi, I also did some assembly language programming as well. I did Z-80 for fun, on a very early microcomputer. It had an RS-232 interface, so you could hook up an ASCII terminal. We had this lying around the EE Department at the University of Delaware. I think the manufacturer was Zilog. At IBM I worked on the Xenix kernel, which we licensed from Microsoft. Parts of the kernel were written in Intel 286 assembly language.
