Hello, world!

In this series of videos, I'm putting myself in the place of a computer programmer in 1981, starting out on the brand new IBM Personal Computer, model 5150. This iconic computer is the very first "PC" in the modern sense of the word. As such, its operation and programming environment were brand new to a 1981 software developer.

In this episode, I cover some basic information about the computer, and present the tools and resources I'll use in the upcoming episodes to actually start writing software.

Useful websites, full of information, documentation, and software are:

I remember forgetting the boot floppy in a Ferranti PC clone and getting the error message "no ROM BASIC" ;)
