The barrier to entry is even lower than you describe.(point "Welche Hardware benötigst du?") You can start with just a Pico and a terminal programme. At least, that’s how it was for me. Then I soldered on the VGA output, then and an SD card reader and then the Audio output. It all cost just a few cents. If you’re put off by that, you can also try it out first with DOS-MMBASIC or MMB4W without needing any additional hardware at all. But your book is still a brilliant idea; I’ll carry on reading it. Have a lovely weekend Cheers Martin Hello Martin, thank you very much for your feedback. You are absolutely right. I should probably make it clearer that there are several different ways to get started with MMBasic, ranging from MMB4W or DOS-MMBasic on a PC to a bare Pico connected via USB, and finally to complete PicoMite and Colour Maximite systems. My own focus has been on the PicoMite because that's where I started, but I agree that showing the different entry points would make the tutorial more welcoming for complete beginners. Thanks again for your suggestions, and I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the book. Have a great weekend! Manfred
