The era of the computer hobbyist had dawned, and if you bought one of
the PC games magazines, such as BYTE or PERSONAL COMPUTER, you could
type in some new games programs which might even inspire you to
invent some yourself. On our home computer, lines of code would appear in phosphorescent
green on a black screen. I was never more than an end-user, and an
occasional one at that because other family members usually got there
first. I would stand and watch for a few moments, just in case
anything new came to the screen, then wander off to plant my nose in
a book. Later on I became a moderator for a kind of magazine program called COMPUSERVE, running the writers' forum.
