When I was little I have an eye problem no doctor could fix. These bumps under my eyelids caused by some allergy. So the sun screwed with my eysy bad. This meant a lot of time inside. So, my dad use to dumpster dive at AMC/Chrysler and bring me home Apple II parts (clone) and I would make them work. They also let me use one of the only 2 computers in our elementary school (Commodore PET) to write my first "game"... they even made me make flow charts for it in third grade. It was a "choose your own adventure" text came that saved to cassette tape. SWEET. Its CROWNING achievement was to invoke a pseudo-random number generator function. Even if you made all the right decisions in the game... you could just randomly lose at the end. HAHA anyone who played that master piece. HAH ;) Steve Nice interview. :) Here is my story.
