It is interesting reading about what people used when starting on the long and winding road. I had a little Sinclair ZX81 and, eventually, added an extra 16K RAM. The monitor was a small b&w television and programmes were saved to and read from a little tape reorder. I remember trying to get to grips with programming in Basic and the difficulty I had in accepting that you could have a line which read 'Let n = 2' and then, a little further on,'Let n = 10'. In algebra if I wrote n = 2 then that was that, it didn't change half way through solving the problem. Those were the days.
