Old comp books online

I was looking for David Ahl's book "BASIC Computer Games" to see if it was availible to buy anywhere. That's how I stumbled onto this link:

http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/

It's the entire book online, how cool is that? :-) Go to the root of the site and you will find even more books, mostly about Atari. All these books are uploaded with the copyright holders permission, they say.

Great stuffI I never owned an Atari but back in the beginning of the 80s i had a Sinclair ZX-81 and a bit later a ZX Spectrum 48K. Oohhh..those were the days!

I programmed BASIC and asssembly (Z80) on the Spectrum, and it was amazing what you could do with it.
