CBM Programming: When Computers Had Character

Vintage 1981 programming book 'Programme für CBM' by L. Oswald with black cover featuring red robot illustration and grid pattern background

Diving deep into computing archaeology with this 1981 gem - 'Programme für CBM' by L. Oswald! Back when programming books featured dramatic red robot artwork and promised to turn your Commodore PET into entertainment central. Those were the days when PEEK and POKE commands ruled the world, and 'minimale Kosten' meant something entirely different. The grid background screams pure '80s tech aesthetic, while that retro computer illustration reminds us how far we've come from those chunky beige boxes. Captured this piece of computing history with my Nikon D70 at f/2.8 - because vintage programming manuals deserve proper documentation!
