I visited ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) in Melbourne this afternoon – a wonderful, free museum of film and gaming history.
This small exhibit of books caught my eye and it took me a few moments before I was hit by a wave of recognition: I had owned and/or borrowed all four of these books when I was 10 and basically learned how to program my Commodore Vic-20 from them.
It quite a jolt to have personal history and curated history overlap in such a specific way!
