@fluidlogic I did skip them entirely, yes. Though I have done things with embedded 8 bit devices more recently eg ATTiny85 and Teensy.

#retrocomputing folks: I'm trying to get a sense of the proportion of people here who are into retrocomputing today but didn't experience the machines when they first came on the market. -

So 16bits then 32 bits. It meant I got into 32 bits early and I wasn't interested in the PC machines. I did dabble in Windows towards the end of the 80s because a client wanted it and... only 16 bits? Are you kidding me?
