I am basically a collector of vintage consoles & computers (or horder as my wife would describe me!).
If you remember the 80s computer era then you might have come across the magazine INPUT, a 52 week series to learn programming.
Well, towards the end of the 2020 lockdown I began to retype those old listings, starting with Spectrum, plus created a Facebook page to see if anyone else was interested, although it was somewhere for me to ramble even if they weren't!
Input Like It's The 1980s!
I decided to alter this site to give a better place to store the completed files, so as and when I get time I'll put them on here
Click the links below for each issue, the PDF issues of the magazine are on the Facebook group page in the Files section, or on archive.org and while I have some spare hosting space, I'll add them in each issue folder as well

Special Thanks to all of you who have helped with the group and listings as we did them, provided fixes that were never known back in the 80s, or uploaded the ones you've typed in yourselves
The most important thing is to have fun with these old listings and be aware they didn't all work! I'm currently on the Dragon version using emulation, but would be nice to know if they work on a real machine!
