Commander X16

Unfortunately, when restrictions were lifted from the Eastern Bloc, the PC compatibles had already asserted their dominance, and that was before I was born. Nevertheless, I learned to program at a young age, and today, using a computer and programming one are basically inseparable for me, even on modern systems.

With the X16, I hope that I can both learn the system inside and out and help as many others as I can to do the same. And while it might take a while, I'm patient.

 

Over here, there was a time when it felt like these things will be used forever, even after the system change, well into the 90s. But in overall, people appreciated their household tech much more (scarce economy had much to do with it, but the mentality wasn't wrong).

Until consumerism steadily took over people's mind and now they throw away their stuff with disgust as soon as the next trendy thing comes.
