Who remember an old Apple? His old CP-400? CP-500?
A not so old MSX?
Did you ever programmed in LOGO? BASIC? GWBASIC (Basic in portuguese ;)
I was thinking about 7 years ago, when I was 8, and my dad show me a CP-400
and a manual for BASIC. I lost my K-7 where was so many games for it.
Does anyone remeber the time for K-7?

I was looking the post under it when I remembered BASIC

Thanks George...
