Ok, for the 40th birthday of the Amiga, let’s continue on our piano lesson!
The program is divided into three parts: right hand, left hand and both hands. We start off with the right hand. The program gives some VERY basic information about notes, note length, pauses, fingers. And it will either play a beat for you to play along, or play the whole melody.
The entire piece consists only of just four bars!

I still own an Amiga 500. With mouse, power supply and a 512K ram expansion. No monitor.

I also had the Action Replay with which I hacked games 😀

Not sure if the computer still works. I haven't plugged it back in since the 90s 😅

Ich hatte einen Amiga 2000 mit zwei Diskettenlaufwerken. Es gab coole Spiele. Ich konnte eine Zeitung mit WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) layoutieren. Und ich habe ein paar schräge Songs damit gestaltet.

Danach bin ich auf einen MS-DOS PC umgestiegen.

Breaking news from Procrastination Station.

Made a high-res scan of my 1992 #Commodore PC invoice/receipt, imported it into Inkscape, and pulled guide lines all over its wonderful and weird layout.

Also measured the paper size: 297 mm × 203 mm. As wide as landscape A4, but 7 mm short of it in height. The perforation all around (and obvious dot matrix type) means this was tractor-fed fanfold paper, probably 297 mm long, but how wide? The 203 mm have me a bit confused...
