My CPC still fully active

I live in Athens and I was born in 1974. In my opinion, the CPC6128 was the 8-bit micro with the biggest potential because of its CP/M-80 business applications, its colorful overscan games/demos, its powerful Locomotive Basic and its expansion capabilities. Inspired and motivated by the greek Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32, CAT problems), I still develop programs for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128 just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems. I use COSMOS on an everyday basis to monitor my budget and On File to monitor the maintenance of my car. I prefer single tasking computers because they allow you to focus on your work without being distracted by messages, emails, reminders, notifications, other processes etc, etc.

My CPC releases pertain to:

2005, The The Monkey Island II Demo demo (AmsDOS).
2005-2021, COSMOS, the personal cost monitoring system which also includes ASCII Tools (128 KB CP/M 2.2).
2024 June, On File database management system, 50 years anniversary of CP/M-80 (128 KB CP/M 2.2).
2024 June, No One Like You Demo, 40 years anniversary of CPC (AmsDOS).
2025, June, On File and On File Register (CP/M plus). A database that also contains field-based graphics..
