Started programming on one of these bad boys. It's an ABC80 a Swedish built computer.

Boy did I envy the kids that later got a C64 with color graphics. After all black and white is not that sexy... But I made my first steps in a version of basic none the less.

    Looking at the benchmarks on wikipedia it seems like it wiped the floor with the competition. The 'semi-compiling' BASIC interpreter sounds interesting - how was it to use?

    @spl0 I can not give a fair review. After all I was like 10 years old and it's over 30 years since I used it. But it was a computer used in many schools in Sweden in the early 80.

    And I got the C64 eventually. 😀
