  • Me! We used them in Computer Studies in school so I remember I did quite a bit of programming in Basic on it. First thing I remember programming on it was trying to create a random number generator - can't remember if I succeeded or not! I do remember destroying the keyboard quite quickly playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon...my dad quickly bought me a joystick after forking out for its repair.
