I remember it well, I'm of an age that I can remember writing programs for these and the TRS80, I didn't acually own these just wrote for them. My first was the Vic20 with a whole 1k of useable memory, but it had a real keyboard. (I used the excuse that it was for my daughter). I can remember spending hours writing new algorythms to use as little memory as possible.
