Back in 1984 I started my venture into the world of IT and computer science. ...Yes, and gaming on home computers, too... The very first program I wrote produced a bit of beeper music. The second one was a training program for Latin verb grammer. Designing, writing (on paper) and doing a dry run (wi...

Maybe the instructions should be preserved, too. I could scan the pages and I could include the Alphacom 32 listing. It is just too funny that a Latin teacher ploughs through a dire BASIC listing and still finds something to set the record straight. Almost done with the chaos in the wake of a water...

But I can do a tap scan for you, WoS and other interested parties to publish. I do plan an English version of it, though. This will take some time t...

For the final years of German secondary school we had to pick two subjects which represented the major focus of these final years. In my case this was English and Latin. 8-) For one of these subj...

I wonder if there are teens nowadays who bother with developing software for the ZX Spectrum. I would recommend it. If the Speccy teaches you anything it's probably the clever use of limited hardware. Considering the often ridiculous hardware requirements of rather simple IT-based solutions I would ...
