Hello from Canada (Toronto)

Seems like a few people started on the TI/994A too. Well the Commodore PET was my first intro at school back in 80's, but my first home computer was the TI, followed by an Apple ][. The PET will always hold a place in my heart though. I wrote quite a few games in BASIC back in the day including an entire PAC MAN clone using PETSCII and a whole lot of peeks and pokes. I ended up as an electrical engineer doing embedded software for a career. Haven't coded for my job for years but do it personally because I love it and I need the challenge. I actually wrote a 6502 emulator from scratch recently with the purpose of running some of the classic BASIC's. Looking forward to trying out the emulator and helping out if needed. Best of luck and will be following closely!
