32 Years ago, give or take a day, I sent off a cheque for £249.98 to buy a SAM Coupe and mouse interface! Here I am now; still developing for this quirky, British #8bit computer wonder!

The Chiptune Jam banner, with cute light blue bubble letters that say "Chiptune Jam" on the right half, and an adorable ball shaped yellow chicken on the left (a version of Curdle's avatar) that is wearing headphones, holding it up with one little wing, and playing a little MIDI keyboard with the other wing, laptop at side, with an eighth note pair on the back of the laptop, and little music notes hovering around the chicken. he's blushing!
