Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you know after that you can write
if not it is complicated to write.

Yep. Been through this. My high school had an old Digital (maybe a pdp10? hard to remember, now), –I think they called it a mini-mainframe, but I may be getting eras confused– that was donated to us by University of Oregon … anyway, I learned how to program on that beast. All anyone in my school knew how to do was turn it on, and I had a little set of mimeographed notes on how to write a BASIC program. It was so cool … This was in SW Oregon in 1977. It ran 3 CRT’s and a dot-matrix terminal. Programmed Lunar Lander, Tic-TacToe, etc. I thought I was hot!!!

http://w3fools.com/ is an interesting take on W3Schools, and why you shouldn’t rely on their information.

I spent countless hours trading off duties with my sister, either typing hex codes into the VIC-20, or reading them out of the magazines of the day. Nine times out of ten, when we’d finished, the program wouldn’t run due to some small typo. Half the time it would turn out that we’d flipped to the wrong page, and were inputting codes for some entirely different computer.

On the off chance we actually got the program to run, we’d try to save our work to the VIC-20 cassette tape drive. Actually, it was some 3rd party tape drive, and was essentially a data randomizer. I don’t recall a single program working a second time.

When I wanted to actually learn something about programming, I went to the Commodore manuals that came with the computer! The OS booted into BASIC, and it was simply expected that the user would want to write programs. Amazing times, really. Can you imagine if the average user had to type in code out of a magazine in order to connect to Facebook and check up on their friends?

Thank you for the reminder. Now that you mention it, I remember trying to figure out how difficult pre-internet was. Trying to learn how to program and so forth. Even when internet access was available later on, there just wasn’t as much available. Of course I never got on Usenet or IRC so I probably missed out on a lot there.

So in short. Here here!
