When i was a kid in grade school like grade 5 or 6, i didn’t have a computer but always wanted a c64 or Tandy. Parents didn’t know or see the value in them at the time , so I was determined to learn and know everything about them through the books in the school library. The Usborne series of books were fantastic and then i just read anything that was computer related or tangential, sci fi , mystery books especially for some reason and then I found want that covered it all, Chip Mitchell!

i forgot the name and confused some details over the years trying to look for it but I finally found it and thanks to the @internetarchive was able to read it again! It s a series of books made by Fred D’Ignazio and i realized i had read so many of his books, he wrote columns for Computer and just books about teaching programming to kids. If you got some nostalgia for that stuff and have some time, give it a shot!
