Even better
I’ve always wondered if the “38911 Basic Bytes Free” is just hardcoded into a ROM chip somewhere, because that’s the only thing it ever says, or if it actually knows that there are 38911 Basic Bytes Free.
Hey Nate–Cousin Eric here. (Nice blog!) Next time you’re down in New Jersey, I’ll show you my premier issue of Compute’s Gazette, circa 1983. It was a magazine just for Commodore Vic 20s and 64s. Had programs (games mostly) that you could type in, and lots of groovy ads for dot-matrix printers, gigantic 12-pound floppy disk drives, and cassette recorders. Funny, funny stuff.
I used to have a subscription to Compute’s Gazette a million years ago! I used to love that magazine. Then one day my mom went into “feng shui” mode and chucked them all. Yeah I really want to see it.
I used to make my mom type in all that horrible assembly code so I could play games. They were like the worst games ever, but I liked them and they were free.
