Seeing as it’s programmers day, and I’ve been thinking about this crew a lot for some reason; a shout out to the Beagle Bros. crew!
Picture a wee lad hunched in front of his IIe bathed in the glow of his monochrome monitor, marvelling at his 64K (actually 128K, I had a RAM card, I was THE man, LOL) of raw memory power, pouring over yet another creation from the Beagle crew.
