  I've seen them, they're quite fun. The intro montage is quite funny. The fact he has the beagle bros tips poster is magic. https://beagle.applearchives.com/the_posters/ https://beagle.applearchives.com/the_posters/ Its funny how you remember some things. like how to fill the screen a single color. 10 hgr 20 hcolor=2 30 hplot 0,0, 40 call 62454

  I've been loving this series and I hope he continues it. Being relatively young (25) and not living through the times of these classic computers, I knew the basic (heh) ideas behind programming for them, where the whole thing is essentially a REPL and you write line numbers to add to the program. But I never saw demos farther than printing a line and then doing a goto to print it infinitely. I didn't understand the actual workflow/iteration process programming for these machines, writing something more advanced where you're figuring things out as you go. I have to say my conclusion is I'm glad that in modern times we have the ability to go back and insert as many lines as we want in between any other lines :)
