LOAD 8,1
Did I get it right?
Only if you had a cassette disk drive. :-)
LOAD? We didn’t get to that for a couple of weeks!
My wife and I are both engineers and her folks bought us a C-64 for our first Christmas together. We stayed up till about 2am on Christmas eve writing a program in BASIC that bounced one of the PET characters (a circle) back and forth and top to bottom from the borders of the screen. We put in variables to change color, speed it up and slow it down, and I think maybe flash or something.
It was a historic accomplishment, but without a storage device, we had to turn off the computer and lose the program! It was painful, but we got a disk drive a couple of weeks later. Neat memories
