"Basic" joke for the old school peeps
 

10 INPUT "What is your name: ", U$
20 PRINT "Hello "; U$
30 INPUT "How much money do you want: ", N
40 S$ = ""
50 FOR I = 1 TO N
60 S$ = S$ + "*"
70 NEXT I
80 PRINT S$
90 INPUT "Do you want more money? ", A$
100 IF LEN(A$) = 0 THEN GOTO 90
110 A$ = LEFT$(A$, 1)
120 IF A$ = "Y" OR A$ = "y" THEN GOTO 30
130 PRINT "Happy retirement! "; U$
140 END

old and good...

Did you own one of them? I did and loved it.:pimp

I did. Great PC at that time. A year later I asked my parents for a floppy drive for my birthday since the tape deck was so slow :winkwink:

I recognized that is code for commodore 64 when see numbersfor lines, but never work with that language, was too young

Ah memories....I was doing hillarious programs in commodore basic called "my dad making wood".I think i had 10 years then only,maybe less.

the c16/c116 and plus/4 sucked donkey balls and were a total flop

jeez i remember writing BASIC when i was like 8yo or so like that... i've totally forgotten it and what you wrote almost, but not quite makes sense to me... i remember making a Mr Bojangles graphic dance across the screen and trivia programs in BASIC..

I don't get it :(
I see what it does, but don't see which part is funny :(

wow, brings back memories of the old commodore vic 20 with the fuckin tape deck memory.

great but oldie

....i dont...get it....

I was a Spectrum man myself! God Bless Sir Clive!

Vic 20 was my first one.
yes does bring back memories

Ditto :thumbsup

Hehehe,i remember those:)

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I remember doing the classic "hello world" in basic. We quickly moved away from basic into cobal, pascal then C++... By the time we did visual C++ in university I was totally over programming and never wanted to see a line of code again...

hmm I remember my commodore 64 being a beige color not black....

that's because it's not a C64 in the picture :winkwink:

Isn't that just old school GW-BASIC?

waiting 1/2 hour for jetsetwilly to load up from the tape machine... ah the memories

When my mate got Elite on the BBCb damn that was a great game, load your space ship up with slaves, drugs and guns and make some money...

i worked using this shit even:

Lucky for me I wasn't into computers until Win 3.1.

But I can read that code just fine. :Oh crap

glad those days are gone :)

Looking back: yes. But that was the only PC I had when I was like 10 or 12, so it WAS cool at that age then :2 cents:

Poke & peek :error
Some commands would fuck up the stuff I recall.

Basic!
I remember programming for my msx 1 when commodore was something of the future...:)

What is it? Looks like a TELEX message.

A Goldstar MSX?

Here things got interesting:

After that the fax modem came to the market,

Sending faxes to game (Nintendo NES, Sega 8bit) wholesale clients daily with Winfax Pro 1.0 (could not find the 1.0 pic) after typing all fax numbers in LOTUS 1-2-3 and importing it in WinfaxPro:

Philips :)

ok, I admit; you are more old school then me :winkwink:
Philips made MSX machines? Didn't not know that Pat.

i dont want to remember that shit

not even this?

I loved it when I got it. At least it worked with "Basic". Our school was part of a project and we had a Wang machine

http://www.atariarchives.org/deli/wang_terminal.jpg

which worked with Basic as well.

So I was pretty proud when I got my Commodore.

We went to stores and fed the Commodores there with a loop and then looked at the salesclerks how they tried to stop it.

Did Wang run on CPM?
Loops were cool, racter too.

That could be the reason I guess. What can I say, my eyes are not what they once were. :)

jack...hit me back on icq please
want to send you some money :)

too basic for me hahha!

lol now that's old school. If you dropped a card you were fucked.

Can you email me at [email protected] please?

It's almost midnight here and I still got to pack my suitcase for the trip to the US tommorrow, so switching icq on just before going to sleep will not work for me now.
Bank info is also to be found on http://www.adultcontent.nl/shopnew/pages.php?pageid=17 if that were to be your question.

Thanks, ttyl
