Re: Way OT : Commodore C64 rulez

I stand justly and truly corrected...*grin*
I admit I was too lazy and I figured no-one cared
if I was correct anyhow...LOL!!  Cool, see you never
know who is lurking out there.

A handy trick, to avoid your friends becoming the target of a Spammer's email
scanner, is to fill in their email address into the 'Bcc' field of your email
client. Effectively limiting most Spam email scanners. Also, this prevents
casual noting of private addresses, and the infamous 'Reply to all' messages
that we all dislike.

stupidity. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-68), civil rights leader. Strength to
Love , pt. 4, ch. 3 (1963).

Throw in a lurker's two cents:

10 ?"{shift+clr/home}warm Regards"
20 fOi=1to18:?:nE:fOi=1to20:?" ";:nE
20 ?"CEEJAY"
40 ?:?"Re-coded by another Commodore 64":a$="Sailor Teddy Bear"
50 ?"Personal Computer enthusiast,"
60 fOx=1to22:fOi=1tox:?" ";:nEi
70 ?a$:?"{up-arrow}";:fOd=1to100:nEd:nEx
80 fOx=21to1step-1:fOi=1tox:?" ";:nEi
90 ?a$;" ":?"{up-arrow}";:fOd=1to100:nEd:nEx:gO60

(I forgot how to change from UC/graphics to LC/UC mode.)  Verified to
work even in Win64.  Compressed CBM Basic code is such a beautiful work
of art...

Wow!  The difference between writing C64 Basic and Vizhul Basic:  C=
programs work right on the first try, while Win programs never work
right.  ('Course, this comes from a die-hard Geos 2.0-64 user.  No GPF's
here...)

BTW, the quick and dirty way to do a locate in CBM Basic is as follows:

   PRINT "{clr/home}{down-arrows x times}{right-arrows y times}";

(Always use right-arrows because spaces erase.)  It never takes more
than 72 characters, plus the program line number, so it stays legal.
Yeah, way OT, but like the subj. says: C64 PC's rule!
