Nostalgia Rules!!!

Ah, just like the good old days...

It's rapidly heading towards midnight here in my little man-cave, and I'm hacking code, experimenting, getting familiar at last with the emulator as I wait for my successfully ordered 1 of the first 70 units to be delivered in a few weeks time.

And I do feel like a little kid! Fantabulous.

One big difference - back then I couldn't afford a decent whisky. Now I can

And my thanks to Dave and his vision and all those top uber geeks out there who made the emulator possible and now the actual hardware.

Awesome post. Enjoy sipping you whisky and hack away

BTW. for me whisky and coding doesn't work but enjoy each separately

A few too many Rum and Cokes has led to some remarkable coding mistakes for me too.

I'm a bit dyslexic with numbers as it is and I've made some spectacular mathmatical errors under
the influence !!!

Yes, alcohol and coding do mix, just not always the way we would like or expect!

I suspect that alcohol played a big part in me struggling to code up the simplest of linked list routines, something I've done a 100 times before in a variety of languages, mostly not BASIC though.

BUT... it also gave me a different way to see the situation and other solutions, so I ended up scrapping the code, starting again and ending up with a more efficient and faster outcome for my particular application.

Time to order up another bottle of that delightful Welsh whiskey!
