Hi all!
Great to be on the forum, from Michigan, USA.
Really looking forward to learning from you all!
I'm an IT Manager for a global chemical company, but I've always been a closet, wannabe, 8-bit programmer!
When I was 13 the Commodore PET just came out and I REALLY wanted one! My Dad said no way, because they were SUPER expensive. Later on I got a VIC-20, but always drooled over the C64. I really wanted to learn to program games, but life got in the way, college came, and here we are, finally with a little bit of time!
Fast forward to today, and the nice thing is that I can choose the system I want to develop on! And the (emulated) cost is free!
I'm finding myself wanting to dive into Commodore PET programming still, but need to understand where to start! I have programmed in MANY languages, including a little Assembly for the 68000 Apple processor back in college. Anyway, here I am and glad to be here!
Nice to meet you all!
JR
I'm gonna rewind to 1982!

Welcome to the forum... glad to have you!
I totally agree that emulation gives us all fantastic, and gives us a great easy way to enjoy and learn programming on these old classics.
The PET isn't a machine I'm familiar with, I've done some VIC-20 programming - but I was a CPC kid back in the day, all these 6502 mysteries passed me by!
I never did any assembly programming back in the day, but finally got to learn it a few years ago on the Amstrad, and I found it fascinating and enjoyed looking at computer programming from a lower level.
Here's hoping you have lots of fun learning 6502, and programming the PET!
Take care,
Keith
