Ditto. My first PC was one I make myself from a Mos Technology 6502 uP.
Paper tape reader, Tom Pitmans Tiny Basic, and of course programming
Assembly by translating the hex codes manually and entering them one
at a time. I can't remember how many times I entered all 2,000
opcodes for Tiny Basic - from a few sheets of hex codes.
But this was the 1970's.
Ahhh, those were some memorable times.
