Introduction

In 1984 I bought my first computer - named LASER 210.
The price: 299 DM - it was a lot of money for me!!!!
First I began to learn BASIC. Later I programmed in Z80 Machine Code. A very good book from Rodnay Zaks ("Programming the Z80", Publisher: Sybex)  helped me to understand how it works.
I also was a active member of the "VZ/LASER-CLUB Berlin, Germany".
