I used to code directly in assembler language with my Z80 when I was fourteen.
Still a way younger thing in respect to the Fortran/Cobol era.

TRASH-80 is a regional reference. Tandy corporation sold a Z80 computer call the TRS-80 through its Radio Shack stores. The computers were affectionately referred to as TRASH-80s.

I liked my Spectrum very much.
But at that time the Commodore 64 was considered the best.
I had friends with both Sinclairs and Commodores, and the discussion on which of the two was the better one was endless.
Anyway, let's not derail this thread with computer nostalgia.

And while a later entrant, the Commodore Amiga was pretty remarkable.

I couldn't afford anything like a computer until about 1984. The only programmable computing device I owned prior to that was my HP 41CV ... I wrote tons of little apps and routines for that.
In '84, I bought a Macintosh, which led me to learning how to write software for it. That was fun ... the good times working with the then very very young development tools community as they brought up the first native Pascal and C development environments that ran native on the Mac.
Gads, that was a lifetime ago... 40 years! sigh.

Started with TI-59, that is when I discovered the magical world of programming.

As an old guy that used film in format like 6x6, 6x12, 4x5, 35mm and panoramic 35mm, the only time you really need to work in equivalents is maybe when you are moving to a system and want to get a rough idea about focal lengths. Once you are in a format, then just work in that format. I can easily calculate equivalent fields of view for 6x6 and 6x12 for example, but the resulting image looks nothing like each other. The same is true between 35mm and medium-format aspect ratios--those really do not look the same.
So the video is at once right and wrong.
