got a trs 80 - had to type stuff in.. except sometimes they didn't work straight from the book so i had to work them out

i did a lotta basic on the trs80, and lots more using GW-basic on XT, AT and later
1987–1988
my primary school had this hidden away on a computer. I got in trouble for not following the lesson plan and banned from using the school's only computer for the rest of my primary school years.. I think because i managed to run things the teacher didn't know existed. She was afraid i was breaking it in some way. computers were scary

Had a summer job, making the frequency of the national grid appear on a LED display for SCADA operators -- this used ladder logic. This turned into a recurring gig throughout my highschool years. Never did get the decimal point to appear on the right hand display.
