This poem has a special place in my heart because I learned it when I was about 10 years old from the TRS-80 "User's Manual For Level 1" book. See page 209!

That's one of the first programs I ever keyed in. It would print the stanzas out slowly, pausing in between, all the while "snowing" pixels onto the screen. I fell in love with programming then, and it's been magic ever since. Here's to a few more miles...

Lacking a TRS 80, YT has it as well: https://youtu.be/j-Zcog5o_p0?si=p-zMq2mnYwcONqmA

Thanks! That was very nostalgic to see it running again after all this time.

I love that in the listing every keyword is abbreviated, even F. for FOR!

I lived through the era of type-in BASIC games, and had an 8-bit micro whose BASIC also had abbreviations, but I don't recall seeing magazine listings so vehemently abbreviated!!

To save bytes? To save typing? Or... just to seem more l33t ^_^
