I guess software guys think of their first computer just like they think
of their first sex partner. I got a Commodore Vic-20 computer when it
had just hit the stores in 1981 - I was instantly hooked. With 3K of memory and no
way to save programs, the computer had much to be desired. None-the-less,
I would turn it on in the morning, spend most of the day writing simple games
and scripts and then delete them all at night when I had to turn the computer off.
About a year later, Commodore came out with the Commodore 64 with 64K of memory
and a then-amazing cassette tape backup system. Now I could build much more
elaborate programs and save them! In gratitude for its purchase by my mom,
one of my first programs was a bible quiz game (yep, I was a church boy).
Speaking of church, if you have right-wing Christain traffic that you want
to convert, send them to
BigChurch.com (don't laugh, it one of our better
converting sites... has bible searches, scripture by email, you name it!).
