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?Not that I remember.
That thing had 16K of ROM. Every byte was sacred. Only manual was on paper.
I can't tell if you're joking and deliberately invoking the original comic above
