Not a very original nickname (real first name + first letter of lastname), but thought up in a hurry because I was curious about the forum
My name is Kjeld and I live in Holland (BTW it strikes me that a lot of MSX people are Dutch).
When I was about 12 (1985 or so) we got a Sony Hitbit MSX2 with a datrecorder. I started programming machine code, which became a sort of addiction. I spend a lot of time attempting to build tools which I have never finished because I used a bad copy of Champ assembler which generally sucked.
Well, from 1991 until today I have never touched the MSX again, mostly because of other interests, hobbies, work, school. I did switch to a Philips V8288 (?) the one with video capabilities.
Today I am a Java developer and I'd like to pick up a little MSX programming!

Your nick sounds norwegian to me... Kanskje du har lit norsk blot?

If you know IRC, you can visit #msxdev on Rizon.
Otherwise there are sites to get you started, MAP, MSX Banzai!, and ofcourse the development forum on this very website.

You prolly mean the NMS 8280 ...

Just something you already know, but are still denying: Java sucks !
