Looking forward to it. I ended up flying through what you'd written so far, and it triggered my own memories of the time. Between using the TRS-80s at school, owning a VIC-20 and C-64 (although not a PET), and having access to my friend's Apple IIe, I managed to experience all three of the "Trinity" computers. And now these days, I'm a web developer who does a fair amount of coding, all thanks to the many hours I spent trying (and usually failing) to program my own games.

I just read the first line of the book, and immediately resonated with it. I got the VIC-20 for Christmas 1981, when I was 14. Just prior to that, I had "trained" a bit with BASIC on some TRS-80s at our middle school. Later, I upgraded to the C-64. So I already can tell I'm going to enjoy reading whatever comes next. :-)
