Yes, that was my first computer too, and it also had a cassette drive. I had a friend who was a hardware wizard and he doubled the memory (to 8 kilobytes) by soldering memory chips on top of the installed ones and wiring in the address lines to the memory controller with wire wrap wires.
I remember my very first computer program was a slot machine game, coded in BASIC on it. It took about five minutes to load from cassette.
