#commodore64, Interesting fact: Allocating memory for an array of numbers, 7771 in size, will take all available memory in #basic! In fact, 2 bytes will remain free :)

Thanks to @computermuseum for allowing us all the pleasure of exhibiting there and to @HereBeDragons3 for once again organising it 👍🏻👍🏻
@Wintermute_BBS Very nice work!

Being on #Mastodon has made me realize how much time and emotional effort is wasted on Twitter from people trying to debate over every little thing to "drive engagement".

@vidak After #commodore basic, #qbasic was my next programming platform, so much fun 😀
@thezerobit Very nice mode. Some time ago I did the same but on cheap #nes d-pads (clones) for #commodore64, works great!

This weekend's agenda:
- play Call of Cthulhu
- find my solder
- start on my RC2014
- read enough of the VisionBASIC manual to be dangerous
- be dangerous
@vwbusguy Yes, exactly and I need to oversleep this day also 😩
There are some days for #c64 developers when you just want to POKE 1,0. Today is that day for me...

Good morning Fediverse! Here is your #vintagecomputer picture for today: my Issue Two 48k ZX Spectrum, kindly sent to me by @GedgeHead (we actually did a trade and I sent him some floppy drives in exchange -- that was fun!)
The machine included a large number of tapes, so I dug out my wife's old Panasonic tape player to load some games. Took a few tries, but I got it going. It was fun loading from tape again after 30 years (on my Atari 400, back then). Gedge did a composite mod on it before he sent it to me so I can run it easily on my PAL monitors here in the States.
Later, I sent some photos of the innards to "ZX Wife" (hmm...wonder if she's on Fedi...) who said it was probably originally a 16k Speccy that had been upgraded to 48k.
Hope everyone has a great day. Keep it retro 😎
