> That's why some computer mags started introducing tools to type in programs without ambiguities. Yes, typing long magazine listings was already laborious but then you had the extra challenge of figuring out why it wouldn't run due to a typo (or, worse, a misprint). When magazines started adding checksums and a couple lines of BASIC to calculate them, it was happy day! |
