Oh MAN those magazine listings!

I remember my mom, bless her, reading them to me so I could type the bloody things in becauase, being partially blind, I couldn’t get the bloody page close enough to my face to properly read the infinite lines of DATA statements :)

And then, years later, they finally came out with checksum programs so you could see a number at the end of each line and compare it with what was in the magazine.

Crazy to think back, innit? :)
