Nel 1993, quando iniziai l’università costava molto di più della HP42 che poi scelsi, ed era la punta di diamante nella vetrinetta dei calcolatori che potevate trovare nelle cartolerie o nelle librerie specializzate. Mi è sempre rimasta la curiosità di sapere com’era programmare con questa calcolatrice, che vidi “dal vivo”, solo una volta in modo fugace. Così mi sono documentato e ho pensato di scrivere questo breve articolo, scoprendo che forse la HP48 ha ispirato uno dei linguaggi di programmazione nato nel 1995 che è ancora sulla cresta dell’onda dopo oltre 27 anni…

    Nel 1984, dopo il successo del C/64, la Commodore lanciò sul mercato il Plus4 ed il Commdore16, due macchine quasi identiche che si differenziavano per il quantitativo di RAM a bordo e per la dotazione del software in ROM.

    The Commodore 64 is a fascinating machine. It is the single best selling computer model in human history. The fact that the C64 still holds that title in 2021 — close to three decades after being discontinued — is nothing short of amazing.

    Because it makes me smile, let’s take a quick stroll through some of the magazine advertisements for the Commodore 64 that helped the system achieve that world record. See Commodore 64 ads from the 1980s still make me want a C64 in 2021
