Hee hee...I was just looking through the BASIC programs I wrote on an Apple IIE back in highschool =)

Ah yes...those were the days.

Long afternoons in Wachusett High School Math/Science lab, cranking out my programming homework on an Apple IIE with a green screen and dual 5 1/4" floppies. You'd boot into BASIC by holding ctrl-openapple-something, and program in basic by typing one line at a time. You could enter lines in random order, and there was no efficient way to list them, so you'd have to keep it all in your head. Then you'd save it to a 5 1/4 floppy (which took a while) and dump it to an Apple Imagewriter. If you wanted to stay on the teacher's good side, you'd tear off the tractor-feed strips before you handing in your assignment.

Oh the memories. :)

yep, the good old days, when you'd sit in front of a keyboard for 4 hours so that you could end up with a 2d monochrome rendering of a snowflake ;)
