Obligatory toot.

I'm a forty-something IT professional that started his career tinkering with the C64 in the 80s.

I was on Twitter for a few years but that appears to be going down the drain lately, so figured I check out this Mastodon-thing.

Interests are music, technology, programming, electronics, 3D printing and retro-computing. My partner would say I have too many C64s and MCUs. (I'd strongly disagree.)

Hope to meet new people and have a fun and interesting time on here.

@hvangalen Interesting arithmetic - you must have been quite young tinkering with a c64 in the 80's

@craig Correct.

When my dad arrived home with a C64, he and my brother started to mess with it, and I wasn't allowed to play with it because I was too young.

Of course, I just woke up early the next morning around 5 AM and started exploring that thing with all those buttons.

I'm Dutch but I already had a decent grasp of the English language as we had a student from the USA living with us a few years before, so I could actually make sense of the manuals that came with it.
