Damn you Mr Tramiel for ruining my Youth - Sorry you Died

Post by Kilmatead »

And yet another man who influenced more hours of my computing youth than was healthy has passed on.  I learned much in my enthusiasm to emulate what others had done before.

Frikkin' MOS 6510 assembly code injected via inline Turbo Pascal at age 14!  What was I thinking?  A few years later I plugged my first 10MB hard disc into it (hey, don't snigger, 10MB was monstrously huge and gigantic back in 1984).

It does explain ResUpdater though, doesn't it?  I just can't resist the urge to tinker under the bonnet.

But then I discovered LSD, Girls, and Lord Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (the single most impressive thinker of the last millennia, who literally changed my life 394 years after he died), and actually for once listened to my mother and went outside to play (for the next 30 years) - and the rest is history. :shrug:
