The
first homecomputer that I ever seen (and that attracted me to the
computer-world) was a Sinclair ZX81 but in the far 1984 my
father bought me a new Commodore VIC-20; from here born my
informatic-passion and 2 years later a Commodore 64 followed.
Everytime I power on the Vic20, I get many emotions to see again this
fantastic startup screen
with characters big like a post-stamp, arranged on 22 rows of 23
columns....
