RE: Some obvious questions on WDSci ?

OK, then how about the PET?

But I think I've got you -- the Commodore 16. This doorstop was given away to people who were promised a computer for listening to a spiel for timeshares near Brainerd, MN or something. My neighbor got one and let me play. Turns out it had a version of Commodore BASIC somewhere between the C64 and the C128 and had only 16K memory. Fun, however.

And it was a darker gray/tan.

Ah the commodore 64.  I had a Vic 20 if anyone can recall that, back when
I was a kid.  After reading the book that came with it, there was a
program at the end for a tank game.  It was a ton of lines of code (or at
least to a 7 yr old it was) and I spent about 3 hours coding that game.
Got some errors, fixed them and finally got to play the game for about 5
minutes.  Then I had to use the bathroom.  Came back to find that Mom had
turned the computer off because I wasn't using it and since the program
was only in the memory and I had not backed it up to the tape drive.....
My first lesson in SAVE SAVE SAVE lol.
