First thing I did was crack the case to see what was rattling around in there. It was an extra screw. My first computer was a c64 in 1984. I used it to log on remotely to the school mainframe (someone wrote an 80-column terminal emulator back then) and also to play games. I wanted to write games too, but not in basic or assembler. So I wrote a Pascal compiler by adapting one out of a book. I spent the rest of my spare time working on that compiler and never got around to writing games. I work in compilers to this day.
