I wish I had a 'programmer pad' when I was writing my 6502 and Z80 assembly language code. Instead I used sheets of ruled A4 paper kept neatly in a binder.
3 years ago, just before the UK went into lock-down, I was able to meet up with my old school friend, Martin Galway. We had many years of events to catch-up on, but spent most of it back in the 1980s. Atomic Protector for the BBC Micro was…

Do you remember the original MB Big Trak? Here's a modern day reproduction in action.
Having a read through this issue of 'Your Computer' magazine from January 1982 ( UK ). It includes a review of the newly released BBC Micro computer along with lots of other interesting articles and program listings for the reader to type …
OS/2 - yes or no?
Who remembers the days when installing an application or OS was done by feeding a stack of 3.5" or 5.25" disks into your disk drive. Here's my set of 3.5" disks with 'Windows for Workgroups v3.11'. With each disk you hoped and prayed that …
