I bought my first Atari 600XL? in 1984 and six months later my 1010 cassette recorder. With just 16 KB I began programming in BASIC. After a while I saved money for a 130XE and XF551 disk drive. Around that time I was getting interested in electronics and began to upgrade my XL/XE computers. Memory upgrades, new OS ROMs like Qmeg and more...
