Memories. I remember copying my first BASIC code from a magazine. All it did was display a solid color on the monitor when you pressed any key. Back then my only resources were magazines and the video rental/computer shop owner that loved answering all of my questions. I’m pretty sure he could’ve sold his ponytail to Exxon for a hefty sum, but he still smelled better than the internet does now. Lol
