Another early programming experience - and I'll probably regret ever saying
this...
The single-most biggest leap in computer programming skill occured when I
was 11 or 12 or so learning Applesoft BASIC on the Apple2+. I was reading
the basic programming tutorial but I couldn't figure out why none of my
programs would work.
Then I discovered you were supposed to hit the ENTER key at the end of each
statement.
Yep, believe it or not, I was hitting the space bar to move the cursor to
the next line.
-sigh-
I kinda miss BASIC on the Apple, especially doing drawing programs in HIRES
and LOWRES. Oh, yea, and hacking the lemon aid sales sim program at school
so I could earn the most money.
