Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80 (Frank DaCosta, 1982) (Source.)
The cover for a book, "Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80", by Frank DaCosta. The call text reads, "Create exciting computer games while you learn valuable new programming techniques!" A dragon curls around a TRS-80, taking a swipe at a knight who is standing on the keyboard, his sword raised to take a swing at the fearsome beastie perched on the monitor and disk drives.

I'm not quite to "the internet was a mistake" levels of luddism but I do believe the following are corrupting, in order:

Obviously
- Cryptocurrency
- Algorithmic feeds
- Targeted advertising

Probably
- Media streaming
- Push notifications

Maybe
- Graphical user interfaces
- Microcomputers

I love beautiful queer women, jazz fusion, PC Engine games, old microcomputers, things of that nature

Wow!!!! A friend shared these pictures with me. It's a custom hand made wire wrap Apple II in a gutted PC XT clone case!

Found on the "Retro Microcomputers, Workstations, Servers and Consoles" Facebook group.

Some of Russia’s A.I. Drones Are Powered by Nvidia Microcomputers, Ukrainian Officials Say
The tech giant says it does not sell the devices in Russia, but they are widely available on resale markets. When purchased that way, they are virtually impossible to track.

microcomputers are like microplastics, we're putting them in everything and we still haven't figured out the long-term effects

Shifting personal computing to a service after 20 years of capable microcomputers in our pockets should alarm folks more.

They really are trying to sell people on perpetual subscriptions to modern living.

A fiendishly addictive fixed shooter for Apple II (and eventually other microcomputers): Jun Wada and Makoto Horai's A.E, published by Broderbund in 1982.

Hold the fire button down after launching a barrage at the surprisingly smoothly moving alien robotic manta rays, and release to detonate.

Microcomputers – The Second Wave: Toward A Mass Market
In 1977, three new microcomputers appeared on the scene that broke free from the industry’s hobbyist roots: the Apple II, the Commodore PET, and the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80. Much later, in the 199…

…blurry screengrabs are from a 1989 local news report saved on VHS in case anyone recognises hardware too new for 1985. And it wasn’t via Minitel, but used “microcomputers” connecting to a “central server” to upload time checks and allow people, including a computer in Tour press room, to follow.

It's why there's often such a gulf of awareness and understanding from them that quite a few young folks are already into older tech, old microcomputers and coding and Pi-based tech and old web stuff and have their own circles and scenes.

"People choose microcomputers the way they choose lovers - without logic." - Adam Osborne.

There was a reason him and Steve Jobs were best frenemies.
