When I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1982, I bought a Radio Shack Model I computer. This computer had 4K of RAM. This is what I learned to program with. I wrote games using BASIC and learned how to make that little computer do what I wanted it to do. I saved my programs on a cassette drive. Once I got the games to work I hardly ever played them again. I printed out the program and stuck them in a drawer. I recently found several of these and have converted them to Flutter Web apps. Enjoy!
