Growing up in the 80s, that's how a lot of books taught us BASIC, because they catered to a lowest-common-denominator implementation. Fortunately, I was using BBC BASIC, with functions, procedures and REPEAT-UNTIL (and later WHILE and CASE), and the BBC-specific books taught structured programming.

For every line of code (just to be pedantic).

I have customers still churning out wads Classic ASP who think On Error Resume Next magically fixes their shabby code. Makes me weep.
