    I like the tabs for the nested loops in the code shown onscreen. As a kid, I’d program in basic (on a Sinclair or a Commodore) but never indent the nested loops. This looks much more modern and legible than anything I was doing at the time. I don’t even remember sample code having tabbed code like this at the time.

      When I was in high school, one of my friends had TRS Model II.

      Sunday nights after church we would turn on KGON, dig out a programming magazine and type in the code presented there. Then play Pong, or Asteroids or whatever other game we had just “written”. When we were done, we’d save it to casette tape for later.

        The ending to your story made me really anxious. If I’d managed to get anything typed in from a magazine, I’d save right away. No playin around until that
