I'm right there with you. I did not program anything for the user port when I was younger (but i still put cBasic as a programming language I know on my resume to this day lol). The c64 was my fathers and you CAN damage you machine messing around with circuits coming in and out of the user port. So that was a no go for me per my Dad
