...and often buggy! I think I learned BASIC via debugging listings that didn't behave properly, and the local library would frequently not have the next issue (that would have the inevitable Errata entry.)
And don't get me started on MSX (their machine language entry / editor) lines that didn't checksum. Infuriating...
- 300bps 12y agoI probably typed in 200 or more BASIC Programs and several machine language programs and only very rarely ran into a problem. Definitely never hit a checksum issue in MLX - I think that's what you meant when you said MSX? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLX_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLX_(software) I was on a Commodore 64 using Compute!'s Gazette so maybe they had higher quality standards than Compute!?
