I played with a Model 100 for a while and wrote a version of Munching Squares in BASIC for it. What annoyed me about the built in BASIC was that it made NO concessions for the small, eight line screen. If you listed the program, it printed it, then printed a line with "OK" and then a blank line (possibly with a prompt, memory fails me), where the next command could be typed. Thus, 25% of the screen was wasted. It could have listed the program, with the last line at the very bottom of the screen and then waited for input before printing the "OK" and the prompt line. A nitpick, but it made it harder to program than was necessary.
