I live in the FL keys. Computers have never been my living but I was quite the hobbyist programmer from the mid 80's through the early 2000s. My first programming experience was actually on a Proprietary DOD mini computer (Harris System V.) The first program I ever wrote that did anything useful implemented a Craps game on the system. (In BASIC) At one point I actually recreated that game on a C128 standing at a display system in a department store. I stood there for 2 or 3 hrs....lol.
I've been watching the 8-bit guys videos lately and I find the X16 interesting. I'm probably going to play with some of My BASIC memories on the Emulator and I'm also interested in a Gen 1 system sometime.
I'm also into snorkeling, fishing & enjoying the FL sun.
