You know, I took a bunch of Apple Basic/ Trash-80 Basic classes way back
when and those people never could figure out how to get display text to
wrap to the next line correctly.
I remember the day my animation class typed in the basic code for Logo
(remember the turtle?). I typed so slow (I still type one-handed) that the
guys in the class typed most of my section of the code. Of course, being
the only female in the advanced basic classes, the guys were very happy to
help me out....
Just like all the guys at computer summer camp in 1985 who heard that I was
beyond the counselors and all wanted to dance with me on the last night there.
I'm working on a series of poems about video games for the Apple ][e.
