Wow good to see some programming... makes me want to take up learning
more basic on my Atari 800... or assembly.




-> GG>I think all and all the Commodore (both C-64 and Amiga) were decen
-> computers.

-> The thing about the Amiga is, there was different modals.  I
-> remember folks that where big fans of the Amiga's often touted the
-> Amiga's features.  Don't get me wrong, even the cheapest Amiga's was
-> good for what it could do and all, but They'd brag about the way the
-> high end Amiga's could do Video Editing and make comercials and all,
-> then in the same sentence say you could pick up an Amiga for (and
-> then quote the price of the low-end Amiga's) in the same sentence...
->  When mentioning the low end Amiga's that where in the price range
-> they quoted, they'd say "Oh no, those Amiga's are junk, I don't
-> consider them an Amiga!"  I didn't know as much about the Amiga's as
-> I did on the Commodores.  Learning Assembly Language from a book a
-> friend let me borrow helped a lot!  Later picking up several Machine
-> Language Monitors and Assemblers made even better.  I loved Fast
-> Assembler.  You write your program in Basic, like:
->
-> 10 FOR T = 1 TO 3
-> 20 IF T = 3 THEN ORG 2048,1,8,"0:myprog,P"
-> 30 LDA #0
-> 40 STA 53280
-> 50 RTS
-> 60 NEXT T
->
-> It'd do a 3-pass assembly and allow you to even embed eg. the 10 SYS
-> + address fairly easy that way... Kinda like the data commands,
-> which was why I loved Fast Assembler!  You could write programs that
-> looked like you compiled it in Basic Compilers, or write some really
-> funky code... Eg.
->
-> 10 SYS 2060
-> (ml code stored here)
-> 20 SYS 2080
-> (ml code stored here)
-> 30 PRINT "Bye Bye!"
-> 40 END
->
-> And have the program look like the above somewhat....
