Hi

I'm from Denmark and had my first computer in the age of 11 (1984) it was a Commodore 64, first games where Blue Max, Squish'm, 1942, H.E.R.O and MS Pacman

The first computer that i was introduced to by a friend of my dad was a ZX Spectrum 48k and first game where Jet Pac.

It could be very nice to have a newly developed 8bit computer like the Commander X16 to play with and program in BASIC

But it's also about having a computer that last for many years and don't change that much and don't require internet.

Welcome Peter. The X16 definitely meets the pre-internet retro feel, doesn't it?

Yes! Getting close to the metal as a hobby is a lot easier if "the bare metal" isn't in a state of constant flux.
