RETRO SET-UP
After more than thirty years I started again with my first computer set-up. A Commodore 64 and a Commodore 128D.
MY FIRST PC
I don't have a picture of my Commodore set-up in my teenage years but this one is pretty close. I think just after I replaced my Commmodore with a DOS based XT PC. A Philips NMS with 10Mb harddisk (Wow!) and Wordperfect 5.0. On the Commodore 64 I created my school report using Easy script.
BASIC CODE PROGRAMS
One of the great memories I have is the hours and hours of programming the commodore 64. At first in Basic and after some time in assembler.
At first I typed in some basic programs as they where published in several computer magazines. You needed to type them in and store them on tape.
Lately I was looking for the smaller programs called one-liners. Small programs that only required a few to just one line of code. As the line length only allows 80 characters including the line-number this was a challenge. Some tricks could be used like shortening the commands to save characters. For example "print" could be replaced by "?". And the special commodore characters could also be used to create special effects.
On this page I collected some of the one-liners that I created or found in the magazines, or internet.
