Hello from Germany
Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2021 6:06 pm
Hello,
thank you for the kind welcome I have received so far. I've been for a bit on the platform and only now come to introduce myself, please excuse that. I'm from germany and I experienced many of the old 8bit hardware platforms back in the day. First a handed down Spectrum from my brother, still experienced Apple IIs in school at first and later simple PCs with Pascal.
I recently rediscovered 8bit computing for myself after being a bit disillusioned by modern computing where it seems one buzzword chases the next in order to manage compexity with more complexity that already manages complexity. Personal work experience in IT did its own thing for me to look elsewhere for personal challenges and rewards in computing. I might have taken it a bit far by fiddling with an NE555 currently but I don't care. ?
What really interrested me about this project was that this actually seemed like a platform that could move forward and be a companion for multiple years to come. I'm looking forward to it.
Best wishes to you all.
