Oooooh, guess what just arrived 😍

#BBCMicro

@aral *and* the book. I'm jealous! Back in the day for the beeb, I wrote in assembler a ring-buffer network packet sniffer... got me into a *lot of trouble*. I wish I'd thought of preserving the code somewhere.
@dch @aral I wish I still had the code for the teletext network hypertext system I built for it, complete with the ability to download binaries from pages. Could have knocked down quite a few web patents.
@mathew that would have been so cool! @aral
@dch @aral I do have a listing for an early version of the page editing piece, which was printed in Personal Computer World. First bit of money I made from programming!
@mathew @dch Very cool; would love to see it if it’s online somewhere :)
@aral @dch I’ve searched a few times to see if anyone from school might have kept a copy and put it on the Internet somewhere, but no luck. I got an Atari ST and couldn’t imagine ever wanting my old BBC floppy disks again. Didn’t keep my Atari ST programs either. Oh well!
@mathew @dch Oh, I’m not even thinking of my old programs from back when I was a kid. They may still be on some disks in a cupboard somewhere in Turkey :)
