I don't see the attraction of computer games--or Twitter, for that matter.
I
had the luck to have an Olivetti Programma 101 when I was in 5th grade
in the early 60's.
I had learned about programming, stored programming, and the like from
programming it. It had the capability to create commands in its storage
registers and execute them, and I credit that bit as a help when I later
took up programming as such things were not a mystery.
The bad news is now that I'm playing in an expensive playground, but
luckily have 2 of them as well as spares. It is an expensive
neighborhood, headed to the cost of the Lisa parts market unfortunately.
thanks
