I watched my brother spend about 2 days programming a bouncing ball on the C64. He followed the code out of a magazine. Of course turning the machine off you lost everything.
In the early 90s I taught myself to program in Amos Pro on the Amiga. I made a classic pong knock off as you do.
I remember we were a bunch of kids every week collecting money to buy a C64 Magazine with a gaming cassette tape included. So the wealthiest of us who owned a double tape recorder was making copies for the rest of us, a sort of primitive net sharing 
My first computer:
Personal Computer IBM “trasportabile”
making drawings with ASCII codes
Haha. I remember the BBS days and ASCII art. I had a small BBS. But it was only accessible if I went online. No dedicated landline at home.
My first modem was 2400bps, it had dip switches to configure and no manual, I spent days trying different combinations and calling my friend to connect. But it got my BBS running.
I bet that “portable” was heavy… 
I remember logging into the net the first time after I got a 300 Baud modem to plug my phone into.
Nothing but BBS’s to see using Netscape 1.0.
It looks good, I want it.
Actually I think my first modem was a 300, then later I picked up a 14.4K for $300 I think it was.
It’s funny to think what we got up to pre Internet.
I think it was 300 to start then jumped to 1200…was slow as molasses, but there wasn’t;t much to see anyway.

Can’t be super high being a new Bric. But it will be good value IMO.

Do we get a “Supper” with the purchase of this new Bric?
One of the worlds most pristine islands, Mauritius!
