The calls are coming from INSIDE the house!

15. I loved the Commodore 64

My first computer was the Commodore VIC-20 and I learned how to program it in Basic. I bought a couple of games, (they came on cassettes!), then printed out the code in order to understand the games' architectures. Then I re-wrote the code (copyright infringement?) creating a couple of new games that I sold to a software company. They paid me enough to buy the C-64.

And that was the end of my interest in coding. The software and operating system for the C-64 was far more complex than for the VIC-20. I realized that I didn't have to know how to build a car in order to drive one. What I really wanted to do on the computer was word processing, data analysis and various music tasks. A couple of years later I bought my first Mac and never looked back. Today, of course, our computers and devices are integral parts of nearly everyone's life.

If I may ask, what are your objections to Apple? Thanks, in advance.
