Always liked Life. I first heard about it in the December, 1978 issue of Byte magazine. Great article about it from a programming standpoint. If you want to check it out, you can read it here:

I read it.. Interesting article. I was a late Bloomer. In 1978 everything I knew about Computers
was from TOS.

I think the first time I got a chance to play with computers was
1985, courtesy of Uncle Sam and the United States Navy. The closest I got to a computer
before that was ATARI PONG and a TI Programmable calculator.
I read Byte Magazine a lot from the late 80's to mid 90's I didn't realize it went back so far.

Oh it goes back all the way to September, 1975, just a month before Popular Electronics' most famous issue.
