I wish these kinds of computers would come back. Maybe with a language like Lua or Ruby instead of BASIC in ROM. The closest is the 400 and 500 series of Pis but those just aren't the same :(

Pretty cool article.
Nowadays often when you see articles about computer history of this era, the articles tend to be focused on Apple and IBM.
So it’s neat this article focuses on the other computers of this era. TI, Atari, Commodore, etc.

My first computer was a VIC-20, in 1982 or so. It had so little RAM, that I needed to program it with a Machine Language monitor cartridge.

I only had one game for my VIC-20, the pack-in game, called BASIC. I never beat it, but I got a few levels in!
