The old TRS-80 Model 1, Level 1 had 4KB of memory and the only permitted variables were integers (A-Z), and two strings A$ and B$. No decimals, floats etc.
Level 2 allowed any number of letters in a variable name... but only the first two were recognised as unique. CUSTORDER was seen as the same variable as CUSTLINE.
