Those of us who were but a child back in the 80’s, lived in the UK, and had an 8-bit micro computer like the Speccy, a Commodore 64 or even a BBC Micro, may also have come across a magazine range called INPUT

It was published by Marshall Cavendish and consisted of 52 magazines filled with a variety of BASIC programs that you could type into your computer and run – well after trying to run it and then going through all your code again to find the inevitable bug

I may not have the actual binders anymore, but I have managed to get hold of them in PDF format and you can find them here

Hi, I’m Gatt and welcome to my retro site

I’m hoping that as time goes by, I’ll be able to fill this with interesting odds and sods from a time when computer games game on a cassette tape and would take around 5 minutes to load whilst at the same time your eardrums were bombarded with the screeching squeals of zero’s and one’s being loaded into memory!

I may even show off some of my efforts to start repairing some of this old tech – but we’ll see

Anyway that’s enough of me waffling for a bit.. See you all soon!
