It's always nice when a YouTube project stretches its reach beyond our little community to generate broader interest. Here's an example published today, about Microtext. Really well written and researched article. I hope you enjoy the writer's perspective.

Thanks! We shall see. I did touch upon CP/M in my Commodore 128 repair and restoration video a year or so ago. And any dedicated Amstrad PCW video tends to mention it too. Have some fun looking at the back catalogue :D

This is the kind of project that will put you in the history books CJ. Superb work on this project. Growing up in the 80s, I vaguely remember a language called microtext but here in the US, we really didn't see much of it. In school, us computer nerds got lessions in BASIC and later in E.BASIC (for the Apple II). At home, I taught myself the little nuances that came with Commodore Basic (for my C128); which had another language (CPM, I think or something like that) which I did boot into but could never get around to using it because of a steep learning curve as a Basic user. Did you ever do a video on the other commodore language (CPM)? Did anyone ever actually use it?
