Life changing magazines #4







So this one is a little simpler. It's my first published work. I was 16 when I sent it off, so in the 2 years from reading the WORMS program listing, I had learnt basic Z80, gotten a spectrum, written a Database for my Mums work, was without a computer for a almost a year(spectrum went back to my mums work), and then gotten a Plus4 and learnt 6502. I find this frightning as these days, YEARS seem to slip by without anything appearingto happen!

So here is the letter I wrote, the reply I got, and the final article. I was well miffed that they didn't put my name on it however - everyone else got that! Story of my life that.... everyone's always taking credit for my work in some shape or form....

From now on, they're not that "life changing"... just important, or funny. There was one other one, but I appear to have lost that. It was a turbo loader for the Commodore Plus/4 which I used a lot, but I then adapted it to be an interrupt driven one on the C64, which then allowed me to play a game while things were loading. Aside from this one, the rest were all after I "turned pro", and so weren't important, just funny/cool/etc.
