This reminds me that last year when MARCH (Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists) restored a PDP-8 that had come from a high school computing club, they dumped the magnetic core memory and found three programs:
1. A program to dump memory contents to paper tape 2. Some common utilities for debugging 3. At address 200 there was a program that had a fatal bug in it, but had the young high school programmer been successful in fixing it, it would've printed out the string "COMPUTERS ARE SHIT." -Dan On 2/8/16, Christian Groessler <[email protected]> wrote: > On 02/07/16 09:31, [email protected] wrote: >> I really hate this damned machine >> I wish that they would sell it >> it never does quite what I want >> but only what I tell it > > > I'm still working on a "do-what-I-want" program.
