The FX502P and FX602P were scientific calculators with a simple programming language.
Played on my mates Commodore Pet 3000, writing a little machine code (not assembly!) eventually.
The first proper PC i bought was a $400 16K Microbee (an australian computer) bought with milk run money
and running on a B&W tv my father gave me. It was TRS80 compatible, and i properly learnt some assembly back then... writing and getting paid real money for a half dozen crappy games.
They were the days alright!:) Getting absorbed by the Vic 20s at the Commodore Club, and being mesmerized
by another mate's Apple ][. What a home computer that was!
My whole Uni degree was on Microvax mainframes (and PDP11s for assembly), and i did some GWBasic on my siblings PCs.
I then gave it all a break till someone gave me slackware 3.4.

Yeah... The CBM keyboards were real hardware alright. Not the filmsy things of most consumer machines.
