The first hacks you do always last the longest... I can still remember
0xCC9C and 0xCC9D, the addresses to frob to change the foreground and
background colours on the C64... I think I'll ignore remembering what
addresses 0 and 1 did, after all they are rather easy to remember, but I
can still remember what the individual *bits* did...

(I can still remember a frightening amount of ZX81 stuff. Perhaps the
 only computer to have inspired the name of an entire, albeit fictional,
 mountain range?)
