A coder’s beginnings

We all got our start with computers somehow. For me it was a Christmas present called the DIDAKTIK M, back in the year of our Lord 1992. Those were happy days of youthful folly, playing doctor and taking my first steps in BASIC. All that’s left today is the memory and a little scar from tearing my hair out over selling that infernal machine, powered by a Z80 ticking away at an unbelievable 4 kHz. That’s how Dagi got started. Some people were less fortunate and had to make do with a paper cutout called the CGS Paper Computer. Beginnings like that can still bring a smile to your face in 2003.
