Our first guests for quite some time are Taylor and Amy from The Taylor and Amy show. They join us to talk about BASIC, a teeny tiny replacement for the Commodore Datasette and a chap called Christopher Drum who has recently started a blog about productivity software and has decided to start with a deep dive into Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. But that isn't all he has to offer.
