Yes, BASIC was pretty cool. One of my programs was a crude flight simulator. I figured out how to view the BASIC code after the program loaded. From there, I was able to alter the code so the simulator airplane would go super sonic and also fly under ground, sort of like a submarine. Heh!

If you can BASIC, you can program anything. It's just a bit different words, but the logic process remains.

We're going to have to get new signs put up beside the Disabled and Family parking spots at Walmart and the mall.

We was worth a pretty penny for a while, but held it too long until it crashed. He was a true believer. Still did pretty well for himself, but could have cashed out during the peak.

+1 for the VIC-20. It was my first, and I got the cassette recorder too. After the Commodore my uncle bought me an Apple IIe with 80-column card, a Hayes 300baud modem card, and dot matrix printer. I hosted a crappy text based BBS.

You know your old when you remember "Duane's Garage" BMW forum.
Trouble is, I don't remember the name of the earlier BMW BBS that Duane's Garage spun off from. Anyone? It had Jim Conforti, the UUC guys before they started & were just hiding purchases from their wives.... |

When 75% of the stuff at Radio Shack were discrete components...
Last time I went into one in 2010 looking for a Resistor, the clerk point me to a 4' x 6' panel at the far corner https://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/i...#main_catalogs |
