Thank you. We always hear from the geek who only learned to program solely due to unfiltered internet access growing up. But not folks like you.

I personally learned to program before widespread internet access, so know it’s not at all a requirement.

I'm not that old (got home internet in my teens). But got an old c64 from my uncle when I was in primary school. It came with a stack of magazines. In them was all this code you had to copy paste to get a basic game. I don't remember exactly but I don't recall I had anyway to save them either. I don't have anything to add, but you just made me think of a neat memory.

Yes, Commodore and cassette/floppy was one way. Books from the library on a PC is another.
