The first programs I ever wrote were saved to audio cassette from my Tandy Color Computer 2

And a subscription to RAINBOW magazine so you could hand-type the monthly game program?

It was Enter magazine, not RAINBOW, but otherwise right on the money

80 Micro. I wanted a CoCo so bad.

It doesn’t count, but I do remember doing that to play Atari video games at my friend’s house. (Her father was a Big Techy. He even had a modem that used the phone’s handset.)

I had one of these for my commodore 64.

So frustrating when it didn't work!

I didn't learn about this until years later (and not being British), but the BBC used to broadcast software. I would have loved to do that! https://youtu.be/qtTVczVmV8w?si=olhl1mgllWxtpb-_
