MicroBee Columns & Type In Programs
Back in the 1980s, once a month, us electronic and computer enthusiasts would eagerly await the delivery of the latest magazine. ETI would provide a wealth of information for us enthusiasts. Specifically, the "MicroBee Column", became a major choice of entertainment. Containing news and information relating to the MicroBee as well as "Type In Programs" the column was a highlight of the magazine. Both machine language and basic programs were provided in the column and readers would type in, line by line, the code that made a program work.
Below are the MicroBee columns that we awaited so eagerly. The first column appeared on January 1983 (says so on the front cover) to rave reviews. Not really but my friends and I raved about it.
Thanks must go to SILICON CHIP PUBLICATION who have allowed uber-leet.com to provide these pages for you MicroBee enthusiasts. All related articles can be purchased from this Australian Family Owned Magazine.
