PureBasic Forums - English

I was going through old boxes in my garage today and found
this old treasure trove from my past. It's what I used when
coding on the Amiga back in the day. You can tell PureBasic
was based off it, as the commands and languages are very
similar.

Check out the yellowed pages where my fingers were... the
books got a LOT of use!

I have exactly the same somewhere

I knew you'd like it.

I started reading them again and boy, they make me
want to start posting lots of wishes in the Requests
area...

funny you should say that.... I too have exactly the same sat here and also a newer ring bound version of the manual hehe, I miss those days man... really miss them. <sigh>

I also have lots of original C64 books, and even a VIC-20 one.
I doubt I will ever part with them. Coming to the grave with me.
They're a massive part of my childhood and coding heritage, and
looking through them takes me back to far happier times.

I have most of them as scanned PDFs now for convenience, but
it's good to have the original printed ones, too. I need a beer.

All I got is my crappy Dark Basic pro disc

I still have my C64 programmers reference guide and a few other odds and sods hahahaha, Still got a working C64 and a shedload of hardware/software to go with it ...and I still have my Amiga 4000T but I must admit, I've not fired either of them up in around 6 or more years... I really should pull that lot out of the attic and check they are still functional .

and PB, that beer sounds like a mighty fine idea... I'll join you

> I still have my C64 programmers reference guide

Hell yeah! And "Mapping the C64" too... very important book to own!

Hehe, you read my mind again and I have some good news Both machines STILL work YAY! hahahahaha

I still have my first computer vic20 way back in 1982 with programmers ref, and a few other programming books and cartridges, heaps of c64 books & hardware, Amos, Amos Pro and Amos compiler. Also heaps of other books and hardware for Amiga, c128, Atari, BBC, Cat, Microbee, Amstrad, PC etc.

Ho my,
this is pure nostalgia,

My ex-brother in law used amiga, Amstrad and I used only Apple II stuff.
Tomorrow I go looking for my old computer.

my first encounter with basic with a small casio pocket calculator/computer around 1980 even it has Goto, Gosub, call, Dim, Data,...etc . another version of that calculator have Prolog. i remember hearing someone talking waw that programming issue are too difficult, look to the "call" how much it is difficult to understand, (he means call sub)
