That's really funny, Dale. That brings back memories (and more than 5K of |
| 13 |
them!). My dad gave me a VIC-20 when I was in college and I used it for |
| 14 |
several years. I wrote lots of BASIC apps to ease all the ciphering I had to |
| 15 |
do for enzyme kinetics, chemistry labs and things like that. I had a |
| 16 |
cassette tape which was slow but it was a heck of a lot faster than typing |
| 17 |
in your program every time! |
