> Nothing like working hard on a program only to hit the memory limit Mine was a TI-99/4a. The "+" symbol was obtained by SHIFT =, as on most current US-layout keyboards. But if you hit the FCTN key instead of the SHIFT key, it immediately rebooted the machine. It was easy to do that because the FCTN key was immediately below the right SHIFT key. Was so frustrating to lose hours of work that way. First lesson in save early, save often. Of course saving was to cassette tape, which took several minutes, so you tended to delay doing it. EDIT: Also, the quote (") was obtained as FCTN-P, which is very close to the = key. I think that might have been even more dangerous. http://mainbyte.com/ti99/keyboard/keyboard.html http://mainbyte.com/ti99/keyboard/keyboard.html
