| A blast from the past, but you have no idea how jealous I was that the PC users had "Good Basic" but not the Apple. They could use "Real Pascal" -- I think that's what drove me to C. (Yes, I probably was one of three people who had the 6502 C Compiler. Old kodger powers -- ACTIVATE!
*Form of,an 80s programmer! (My sidekick will form something liquid like a case of Jolt) I miss those days, because anyone could learn to do whatever they wanted -- it was just work, not layers of corporate. Granted, it was mostly assembly language to get anything done, but it was all open And just so you know-- I have other things I can change into like: Form of - a paper tape reader/punch! form of - a modem without an AT command set! Form of - 64KB of RAM -- or less! Form of - the GOOD Byte Magazine -- but if I had to, I'd settle for an Interface Age or Creative Computing Form of - that snooty guy at the Byte Shop who wouldn't talk to this kid because he had no money Maybe I should have called them Blue-Smoke powers -- I certainly made enough of that. |
