Using a Dragon for the first time in 29 years
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 3:36 pm
The Dragon 32 that I ordered on FleaBay was waiting for me last night when I got home from work, and after everyone was off to bed, I hooked it up to the TV in the living room. When that little 'OK' prompt appeared I was instantly transported back to 1983 in a wave of emotional nostalgia.
I spent the next hour bashing in some BASIC programs and smiling with glee every time I got a "Syntax Error in Line 60" message.
I simply love the sound the keyboard on the Dragon makes and how it feels.
Next, I need to get a good data cassette player and start loading and saving from cassettes. Bliss!
My wife thinks I've gone mad, btw. But if this is madness, then count me in!!!
