My daughter told me the other day, "I bet I could figure out a Commodore 64 if I had one."
Good luck figuring out LOAD "*",8,1 by yourself, kid.
She meant she could figure it out just playing around with it, not reading a manual or asking around. I told her she'd have to read a manual.
Erm I might be showing my inexperience here.
Is there no equivalent to
man LOADin the commodore world? Or even justhelp?That thing had 16K of ROM. Every byte was sacred. Only manual was on paper.
Not that I remember.
