I had one when I was like 11 or so. Loved its fake Pacman game. I learned some Basic. Such a distinct memory of spending a whole day copying a program from Byte magazine (or something like it), getting the game to run well after my bedtime, playing it one or two times, then… just turning off the computer, losing all that work. I was never able to convince my mom to buy the fancy tape recorder that would have let me save programs. It was a while till I programmed again, but the seed was definitely planted.
