My first “Home” Computer
Power block like a block of Iron
and a Gizmo to use the home telly for a monitor
Programs sourced from electrical stores and magazines,
and occasionally a book or two
while those masters of machine code provided them on tape
read by its own tape recorder
took a while to tap the long games in
lucky souls got to play with disks
Not CD-Rom – that came later
as we chased spiders and snow-bees around the TV Screen
and caterpillars chomping away at pixel plants
